NOTES, CAPTURES, ETC. 1a 
August; common. JZ. Icarus, May to October. lL. Adonis, 
June 15th, and August; not in the wood, but common on the 
downs in places. LZ. Corydon, June and July; occasionally in the 
wood, swarms all over the downs. J. Alsus, June 15th; same 
remarks. L. Argiolus, April 30th, July 24th; sparingly. Colias 
Hyale, August 12th; rare in wood, sometimes common on 
downs. C. Edusa, June 4th to November 14th; common all over 
the wood and downs. C. Helice, var., August 22nd, occurs in the 
wood. Gonepteryx Rhamni, February 17th, July 25th; very 
common. Leucophasia Sinapis, May 25th; of late years rare. 
Anthocharis Cardamines, May 4th till July 7th; common. Pieris 
Daplidice, August; one in lane leading to the White Field. 
P. Napi, P. Rape, P. Brassice; all plentiful. A small variety of

sugar nine-tenths of the Noctue may be captured, including 
many good things. As for the Geometers, many local species 
may be found; while of the smaller moths, Agrotera nemoralis 
abounds all over the wood about the end of May. I think I have 
said enough to prove that Abbot’s Wood will furnish a mine of 
entomological wealth to a diligent and systematic collector.—

CRYMODES EXULIS AND Haperna assiminis.—I have been 
hoping that some one having a knowledge of the habits of these 
supposed species would have given the Rev. T. G. Smart and 
others the information asked for. Since this has not been done 
I may now answer what I had intended at first, as somewhat 
supplementary to Mr. Dobree’s communication in the April 
number. It is almost universally admitted, I think, that the 
species are identical, and that Doubleday’s Hadena assimilis is 
but a variety of the remarkably variable Crymodes exulis. 
Henry Doubleday, in the ‘Addenda et Corrigenda’ to his 
Synonymic List says: ‘After Cespitis insert Crymodes exulis, 
Lef.,” and ‘Strike out Hadena assimilis as synonymous with 
Crymodes exulis” (p. 37). ‘This opinion was never altered, for in 
his collection the two specimens are still labelled Crymodes 
exulis, but are placed between Pachetra leucophea and Cerigo
