106 THE KNTOMOLOGIST. 



short time, I collected three larvae of this insect. Two of these 

 produced imagos in 1885. The third pupa, which I had 

 supposed to be dead, produced an imago — unfortunately 

 crippled — on June 12th, 188G. — J. H. A. Jenner ; 4, East

Eetarded Emergence of Euchloe cardamines. — Since 

 my last note to you on this subject, I have chanced upon the 

 following lines in the * Addenda et Corrigenda ' of Stephens' 

 Haustellata, vol. i. (1828), which perhaps will prove of interest 

 to some of your readers : — " Of six pupge of this species {E. 

 cardamines) . . . two came to perfection at the end of May, one 

 in the beginning and one at the end of June, the other towards 

 the middle of July, thus accounting for the long continuance of 

 the insect in the final state." So the "much damaged specimen," 

 taken by Mr. Eield last August (Entom. xix. 247), may possibly 

 have been a late member of the usual spring brood. A second 

 or autumn brood does, however, ver}^ rarely occur, as Mr. Haylock 

 points out (Entom. 63). Another notice of such an occurrence 

 I have found to-day in the 'Entomologist' for Oct. 1865 (vol. ii. 

 p. 293), where Edward Newman puts it down to " the exceptional 

 weather," which was, I presume, the cause of the re-appearance 

 of E. cardamines, as it certainly was of the second bloom of the 

 horse chestnut and many fruit trees in the South of England 

 last autumn. — H. Chitty ; 33, Queen's Gate Gardens, S.W.,

Anosia plexippus, L. {Danais archippus, F.) in Portugal. — 

 In a letter just received from Mr. George D. Tait, of Oporto, 

 the writer records the capture, on September 29th last, of a 

 female specimen of this species in his garden at Oporto. 

 Although upwards of a dozen specimens of this butterfly are 

 reported as having been caught in South Wales, Cornwall, 

 Devonshire, Dorsetshire, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Sussex, 

 and Kent, I am only aware of the record of the capture of two 

 other specimens on the continent of Europe, viz., one in 

 La Vendee, in September, 1877, by Mons. Grassal ; and the 

 other at Gibraltar, in October, 1886, by Commander Cochrane, 

 R.N.— H. Goss; Berrylands, Surbiton Hill, March 12, 1887.
