visited Rhamnor enclosure, accompanied by Mr. Ernest Joy, 
when we captured between us over fifty Limenitis sibylla in fine 
condition, and a similar amount of Argynnis paphia of unusually 
large size. At sugar, in New Park enclosure, we took Thyatira 
batis and JT’. derasa, Cymatophora duplaris, Aplecta prasina 
(herbida), Leucania turca, Noctua brunnea, and others; the last 
in great numbers. One night I took a very fine Cossus ligniperda 
flying round the trunk of an oak; it was first discovered by the 
aid of my lantern. At dusk we took in one evening in a small 
spot two dozen Calligenia miniata ; we also met with Phorodesma 
pustulata (bajularia), Melanthia albicillata, Timandra amataria, 
and Pericallia syringaria at light. Boarmia repandata was very 
common, and generally at sugar soon after sunset; we managed 
to obtain some good varieties, including the banded conversaria, 
and a black variety besides. Immediately after my return from 
Brokenhurst, I was not satisfied without spending a couple of 
day's work at Holmsley. The first day was on July 13th, when 
I met Mr. McRae, who took a large number of L. sibylla, amongst 
others. A magnificent Argynnis paphia var. valesina fell to each ; 
both specimens evidently had only just emerged from pupa that 
day. A. adippe and A. aglaia we took freely. On the 16th I met 
Mr. Pearce, and went again to Holmsley, and found L. sibylla 
still in good condition, though we let several go; but not being a 
suitable day we soon got tired of butterflies, and took to beating, 
which ended in our obtaining Aventia flecula, Bupalus piniaria 
(female), Hucosmia undulata, Lomaspilis marginata, Hypsipetes 
sordidata elutata), and Melanthia albicillata.—J. M. ApdyE;
