Satyride, Lycenide, and Hesperiide; and also a few Noctue, 
Geometre, and Pyrales; but on the whole Micro-Lepidoptera 
were far from plentiful. 
As soon as we reached the edge of the forest the aspect of 
affairs changed, and butterflies became decidedly more numerous. 
Here we separated, my companions keeping outside, while I 
scrambled up the side of the hill, until I got well within the 
shelter and shade of the trees. It was difficult walking, for the 
ground was covered with large loose stones, which were more or 
less hidden by the undergrowth, so that it was necessary to be 
careful and look where one was going to. Once or twice I 
narrowly escaped a fall as I was eagerly pursuing some attractive 
species, and usually, upon these occasions, the insect was lost; 
and I found it a much better plan to walk along quietly, or stop 
altogether when I reached a likely-looking spot, for butterflies 
often come quite close if one keeps perfectly still. The most 
abundant species in the forest were Papilio polydorus, Hypolimnas 
alimena, and Huploea sylvester ; but perhaps I had better give a 
list of the species seen and captured, with remarks thereon, 
instead of a rambling disconnected account.*

ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES, CAPTURKS, &c. 
Locat Fauna.—Might I here suggest that it would be well 
if British entomologists were a little more systematic in their 
work ? I have recently had my attention specially drawn to the 
insect fauna of Kent, and have been desirous of ascertaining 
what was on record for that county. On examining the records 
I find, not a list of the Kentish Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, or any 
other, including the known forms up to the date of publication, 
not even detailed local lists, but instead of this I have to deal 
with innumerable short notes spread throughout many periodicals 
and books, each one being a record of an occurrence of some 
“good” species, or an account of a successful day’s coilecting, 
but rarely with any reference to previous literature on the 
subject. Frequently, also, the localities are vague, or are not
