TWO ABERRATIONS OF BRITISH BUTTERFLIES. 



Argynnis adippe, <^ (upper figure). — Taken in Kent, on July 

 17th last, by Mr. R. S. Mitford, to whom I am indebted for the 

 loan of the specimen to figure. Mr Frohawk's drawing so 

 admirably exhibits the aberrant characters of this pretty variety, 

 that it is only necessary to say that the under surface of the hind 

 wings is buff in colour, and the submarginal series of spots red- 

 dish brown ; the large spots on basal area are silvery, and there 

 are two or three silvery markings towards the anal angle. A 

 somewhat similar aberration of the female of this species {A. aglaia 

 in error) is figured Entom. xv. pi. i figs. 2, 2a, pp. 50, 142. 



Li/ccena bellargas, <? (lower figure). — Taken at Folkestone 

 during July last. The under surface is whitish clouded with 

 grey, and there are orange lunulas at the outer extremities of
