ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES, CAPTURES, &«. 
Vanessa ANTIOPA NEAR BinmincHamM.—On Sunday, August 
22nd, when coming from church, I distinctly saw, in the park 
here, two V. Antopia. ‘They were flying towards some willows 
which were close by. I went and fetched my net, but unfortunately 
did not see them again. I have since heard that another has 
been seen in the neighbourhood, so I hope soon to be able to 
record the capture of this periodical insect.—Sim Arruur Scort, 
Bart. ; Great Barr Hall, near Birmingham, August 24, 1880. 
Vanessa AnTiopa at Duntwicu.—News of the reappearance 
of so rare a butterfly as Vanessa Antiopa in the neighbourhood of 
its old locality cannot but be interesting to your readers. Whilst 
collecting in the neighbourhood of Dulwich, on the 17th instant, 
I had a clear sight of this fine lepidopteron. To my dismay 
it retreated over a fence, and on my succeeding in scaling the 
barrier it was nowhere to be seen.— G. VERNon Hupson ; 1, Busby 
Place, Camden Road, N.W., August 24, 1880. 
VanEssA ANTIOPA AT WiMBLEDON.— Yesterday (August 24th), 
whilst working up Wimbledon Common, I captured a splendid 
specimen of V. Antiopa at rest on Vacciniwm. The afternoon was 
warm and cloudy, with a gentle wind blowing.—THos. HumBLe 
Rare ; Shrewsbury Road, Bayswater, W. 
Vanessa ANTIOPA AT Foikrestone.—I captured V. Antiopa 
in the Warren yesterday, August 22nd; I understand it has been 
seen in other parts — Witt1am Purpry; 115, Sea View Terrace, 
Folkestone. 
ARGYNNIS CLEODOXxA.—I captured near this place, last Wed- 
nesday, the 11th inst., a very fine and perfect specimen of the 
variety Cleodoxa of Argynnis Adippe.-—H. W. Law; The Chase, 
Ross, Herefordshire, August 13, 1880. 
Comas Epusa.—This butterfly may now be seen flying over 
turnips and stubbles, but not nearly so abundant as it was a few 
years since. I have not seen the var. Helice as yet.—H. Reexs ; 
Thruxton, August 20, 1880. 
Potyommatrus Puiamas.—About the middle of July my sister 
captured the by no means common variety of the above species 
without the copper-coloured band on the hind wings, having a
