be common. Demas coryli also occurs. With respect to Min- 
stead, which can be reached either by following the road to 
Cadnam to the first turning on the left (Pike’s Hill), and turning 
off to the left again, through a plantation of oaks and firs, into 
Manor Park, where a bye path takes you out on to the high road 
after about a mile’s walk, or by keeping to the high road as far 
as the first mile-stone, where a road branches off to the left, 
which, after passing two turnings on the left, brings you to the 
entrance lodge to Manor Park, and, after about a third of a mile 
more, to Minstead itself. Follow this road past one more on 
the left, and one on the right, till you come to a path to the right 
leading to a beech glade, with the enclosed ground belonging to 
Castle Malwood at the upper end on the left, and a row of 
cottages on the right: behind these les Shave Green Inclosure, 
which I found most profitable for day work in August, 1871. 
Though late in the season, most of the butterflies for which the 
forest is famed were common, but of course worn. Here I 
captured a remarkable specimen of Argynnis Paphia, in which the 
silver of the under side was replaced by pale iridescent pink and 
golden brown. 
Cosmia affinis was commoner among some elms, near the 
cottage where I was staying, than I found it in other parts of the 
forest. Boarmia cinctaria is not rare among young fir trees on 
a heath somewhere on the Christchurch road; but the exact 
locality is a secret only known to one or two resident collectors, 
who, for the best of reasons, keep it a profound one. ‘The only 
locality for Hulepia cribrum, with which I am acquainted, is on 
the road to Wimborne, in Dorsetshire, some miles west of Ring- 
wood, the extreme westerly boundary of the forest; along with 
it I saw Lithosia complana beaten from small fir trees, and 
Acidalia straminata disturbed from among the heather. The 
locality is only a limited one, but the insect is a swift flyer and 
often leads one a long dance over the rough ground. 
In conclusion, for the information of those who may prefer to 
procure lodgings at an hotel previous to starting for the forest, 
I may mention that the two best inns at Lyndhurst are “ The 
Crown Hotel” and ‘“ The Stag.” The latter used to be very 
comfortable in the days of its late unfortunate proprietor, and 
the prices were then moderate; but of its present occupier I 
know nothing. I omitted to mention that Cidaria dotata and
