CAPTURES AND FIELD REPORTS. 279 



Within a two and a half mile radius of Newdigate I found C. hyale and 

 C. edusa flying about over four clover fields ; they were not plentiful, but 

 they were in fair numbers. I caught about twelve C. hyale and twenty 

 C. edusa. Some friends whom I took to the localities captured about five 

 of each. I doubtless could have got many more had I had the time. I 

 saw a few C. edusa on the road between Horley and Three Bridges. From 

 August lOth to the 20th they were most plentiful ; but I saw a few 

 yesterday (Sept. Gth). — Heubekt Beadnell ; Fernside, Kedhill, Surrey, 

 Sept. 7th. 



The only specimen of C. edusa that T have seen near here was one at 

 Puttenham on Sept. 6th. — AV. J. Lucas ; 12, Caversham Road, Kingston- 

 on-Thames. 



Sussex. — Whilst collecting at Arundel last Sunday, Aug. 19th, I saw 

 four specimens of C. edusa, two of which I captured, both males ; they are 

 in beautiful condition. I also took one V. cardui the same day, and one 

 P. monacha at rest on a beech-tree. On August 2Gth I took a fine male 

 specimen of C. hi/ale flying by the roadside near Arundel. — Henry E. 

 Garuett ; 3, Brewer's Green Mews, Victoria Street, Westminater, S.W., 

 Sept. 14th, 1900. 



I saw ten examples of C. hyale, of which I took four very fine specimens 

 (three males and one female), on the downs behind Gorapting, between 

 August 16th and 18th; they were confined to a small stretch of the downs, 

 about two hundred yards long, bordered by a thick hawthorn hedge. 

 C. edusa was very abundant in a cornfield, about a quarter of a mile away 

 from the above locality. It also occurred plentifully in many localities 

 \vithiu a five mile radius of Worthing. — H. Woksley-Wood ; 31, Agate 

 Road, W^est. 



C. edusa and C. hyale were common in clover fields around Hooe, near 

 Pevensey, in the latter half of August. I took nine specimens of the last- 

 named species, and one example of C edusa var. helice. I may mention 

 that last year I captured seven specimens of C. hyale near Broadstairs, and 

 two C. edusa a.1 Sidmouth. — Lewis L. Turner; 131, Melbourne Grove, 

 East Dulwich, S.E. 



C. hyale has been the butterfly of the year in this locality. My brother, 

 Mr. Frederick Anderson, has taken many fine specimens, and three or four 

 have also been captured by my friend Mrs. Fogden at Apuldram during the 

 first fortnight of August. My brother also look a beautiful example of 

 var. helice here on August 17th. Although C. edusa has been, and is, at 

 the time of writing (August 20th), very abundant, some visiting the garden 

 even, this is the only specimen of var. helice of which I have cognizance 

 in this neighbourhood. — Joseph Anderson ; Chichester. 



I found both species very abundant near Littlehampton, August 10th 

 to 20th, taking forty-eight C. edusa, one var. helice, and eighty-four C. hyale, 

 besides seeing many more. — Piussell E. James ; 18, Onslow Gardens, 

 Highgate. 



Wesi'moreland. — I had already penned a note on C. edusa to the 

 effect that five male specimens had been caught, and others seen, during 

 the latter part of August; but I now have the pleasure of being able to 

 record that it is being taken in considerable numbers amongst the clover 

 and stubble of a cornfield recently cut close to Kendal. Though it is a 

 revelation to me, there is not the slightest doubt that the specimens now 

 being caught are the progeny of immigrant females, all being in perfect 

 condition, and one or two having been taken with the wings still limp after
