A LEPIDOPTERIST’S GUIDE TO LYNDHURST. 99 
mentioned and some others) common to both. I have elsewhere 
enumerated the greater number, but, besides all the British 
species of the genus Argynnis (except Lathonia), &c., Nemeobius 
lucina, Thecla rubi, Huthemonia russula, Arctia fuliginosa, 
Nemoria viridata and Acidalia immutata may be taken on the 
wing or disturbed from the herbage by day. Hrastria fuscula may 
be dislodged from bramble, and Aventia flexula has also been 
beaten from the undergrowth. The four New Forest species 
of the genus Zygena, Plusia iota, and P. pulchrina are to be 
captured buzzing at flowers—the first-named in great profusion. 
There is a gateway opening out of Park Hill Inclosure into 
Denny Wood, where I used to observe Gonepteryx rhamni lazily 
fluttering about the thistle-heads whenever I passed on a sunny 
day. I never witnessed such an assemblage of this gaily-coloured 
species elsewhere, though it was of more or less frequent occur- 
rence all over the open forest, where it was much wilder on the 
wing and flew higher. ‘The larve of Dicranura furcula and 
Notodonta ziczac may be found feeding on sallow. 
Stubby Copse is surrounded for miles on all sides by 
wooded country; and all the district is well known to the 
Brockenhurst collectors, but personally I know nothing about 
the localities, except that they have been very productive. The 
largest are Denny Lodge Inclosure (including Woodfidley) to the 
eastward; Frame Heath Inclosure and Frame Wood to the 
south-east; New Copse Inclosure to the south, beyond the 
railway ; and Pignal to the the west. To the north of the latter 
les Ramnor Inclosure, which can also be reached by following 
the rails of Park Hill to the right (instead of entering the 
inclosure) till you reach the first entrance lodge (after turning 
sharp to the right, where the two inclosures meet), where the 
hospitable keeper, Mr. Gulliver, is always ready to entertain 
visitors with a cheap glass of milk and an account of his latest 
captures. Here a path commences, which runs straight through 
to Pignal: there are some delightfully secluded nooks in this 
wood, purple with blue-bells in the spring, and which are said to 
be the best localities in the neighbourhood for the Macroglosse 
and Nemeobius lucina, but I never found them commonly ; indeed 
I know very little about the productions of this inclosure, which 
are said to have decreased in number since the undergrowth was 
cut down in 1871.
