state that I saw two of them alive on the 6tb of September, 

 and had them in my hand. — E. Edncy ; 7, Military Place, 

 Cariterhiiry, October 10, 18C8." " I hear my parishioner 

 Parry cannot get the credit for his Incky captures this 

 autumn; I allude to the Lathonias : but it is nevertheless 

 true; and, moreover, I know of two boys who each took one 

 in the same week at Bridge Hill, near Canterbury. I did not 

 see the insects alive, but I saw them soon after. I have 

 examined several witnesses who saw two of them alive, and I 

 am convinced they were British. — {Rev.) Thomas Hirst ; 

 Cathedral Precincts, Canterbury, October 10, 1868." " With 

 regard to Parry's Lathonias, he wrote to me, I think in Au- 

 gust, and told me he had taken two specimens, and that they 

 were alive. I sent my servant to see them, and he brought 

 me back the best of the two, a large female. It was dead, 

 but barely so, and evidently had not been dead above an 

 hour or two. The eyes were translucent, and all the juices 

 and viscera of the body perfectly fluid, soft and fresh. I 

 have not a shadow of a doubt as to the truth of this capture.
