Vanessa AntiopA aT Tootinc Common.—On September 2nd 
my brother, while walking on Tooting Common, had the good 
fortune to capture a fine specimen of Vanessa Antiopa. The

Vanessa ANTIOPA NEAR CAMBERWELL.—On Sunday morning, 
August 29th, whilst taking a stroll about 10.30 a.m., I observed a

After making several ineffectual attempts to secure it, and once 
getting it under my hat, it escaped, and I did not then see it, 
though I waited about twenty minutes. I returned, however, 
with my net a quarter of an hour later; and after waiting 
another ten minutes, it again made its appearance, and I 
secured it.—Paun J. Lowrey; 61, Hackford Road, North

this rare butterfly was taken this season in a garden, flying over
