characters at once sufficient to separate it from the 

 Nymphalinee. The species measure about two inches across, 

 and are without eyes on the under side. 



The species of Dasyophthalma, the last genus of the 

 BrassolincB, are about three or four inches across. The male 

 of D. Rusina is brown, with a yellowish band, angulated at 

 the costa, crossing the fore wings near the margins, and a 

 corresponding white band across the middle of the hind 

 wings ; there is a brilliant blue patch on the inner margin of 

 the fore wings at the base, and within the white band on the 

 hind wings ; the pale bands are whitish beneath, and that on 

 the fore wings bifurcated ; above ihe branch is a very small 

 eye, and there are two larger, orange, black and white eyes 

 on the costa and the middle of ihe hind wings within 

 the band ; the whole under surface is striated with black 

 and gray. D. Creiisa, Hiibn., is velvety black, tinged with 

 green, especially on the hind wings, banded with pale yellow 

 on the fore wings (the stripe broadest at the inner margin), 

 and spotted with yellow on the cosia of the hind wings, or 

 with some greenish spots running half across the wing from 

 the front angle ; the under side of the hind wings is striated 

 with brown and dull green, with three eyes arranged 

 triangularly ; there are also two small eyes near the tip of 

 the fore wings beneath.

Early in June I went with our Scientific Society on an 

 excursion to White Well, about twenty miles from here, 

 on the borders of Yorkshire. I had an idea that Talceporiu 

 pubicornella might occur there, as well as at Grassington ; 

 but 1 was quite disappointed, both with the vegetation and 

 the district generally. It was all that could be desired for 

 hill and dale, rivers and woods, but not of a character for an 

 entomologist: the broad acres were eaten bare by sheep, and 

 the woods tenanted will) game; one could not look over 

 a stone wall, or be looking diligently for larvae, even on the 

 road-side, but a gamekeeper put you under his supervision. 

 1 had only a couple of hours, under a blazing sun, and 

 a liu)ited permission to raujble over a small place of my own 

 selection, where the keeper did not want me to go ; still he
