THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 131 



Pieris Daplidice at Dover. — In a clover stubble at the 

 back of Dover Castle I saw a young gentleman take a female 

 specimen of Pieris Daplidice, in good condition : this was on 

 the 11th of August. — W. J. Sierland ; Grove Road, Colney 

 Hatch Park, Aug tint 19, 1868. 



Colias Hyale at Bamsgate and Croydon. — At the usual 

 meeting of our Natural History Society the capture of more 

 than ninety specimens of Colias Hyale, during the pre.sent 

 month, was recorded, — about sixty at Ramsgate, and the 

 remainder at Croydon. — William Robinson; Friends' School, 

 Croydon, Angust 20, 1868. 



Colias Hyale at Brockley and Lee. — On July 25th I 

 captured a specimen of C. Hyale, in fine condition, gliding 

 swiftly along the sloping banks of the Brighton Railway 

 at Brockley. On the 1st of August, at 9 a.m., I found, on 

 a blade of grass in a meadow in Burnt-Ash Lane, Lee, another 

 specimen of the same species, drying its wings, having just 

 emerged from the pupa. I believe it is very common this 

 year, as two collectors residing at Deptford have captured as 

 many as four dozen between them. — IV. West ; 6, Green 

 Lane, Greenwich, August 11, 1868. 



Dicranura bifida. — I wish to note the appearance of D. 

 bifida on the 6th of August, having been in pupa only seven- 

 teen days. I found the cocoon on the 20th of July, under 

 the fancy work of a brick wall on Blackhealh ; when broken 

 open it enclosed the larva, which changed to pupa before I 

 arrived home. — Id. 



Argynnis Lathonia at Darenth. — While collecting Colias 

 Hyale in a meadow near Darenth Wood, on the 16th inst., 

 I had the pleasure of taking this beautiful fritillary in the 

 most perfect condition. — E. Hari^er, jun. ; 37, Mansfield 

 Street, Kingsland Road. 



Argy7inis Lathonia at Ipswich. — A few days since a lad 

 took what he called a small Adippe from a clover-field near 

 this town, which proved to be a fine male of Lathonia. He 

 sold it to Mr. Eaton, a birdstuffer here. — Garrett Garrett ; 

 172, Woodbridge Road, Ipsivich. 



Variety of Pyrameis AtalaJtta. — One of my children has 

 just brought me a most beautiful and distinct variety of 

 P. Atalanta, the upper tips of the wings being suffused rather 

 than spotted with bright gray, the under side of these tips all
