THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 267 



C. Paraphilus. One female, measuring one inch and a 

 half across the wings. 



Of our remaining species of butterflies I have no varieties, 

 nor have 1 seen any worth recording, except perhaps some 

 Syricthus Alveolus in the collection of T. H. Allis, of York. 



I am indebted to Mr. Doubleday for specimens of Satyrus 

 Arislaius, and for many other interesting continental species, 

 and for much useful information about the food and habits of 

 V. Ichnusa, &c. 



[I should feel greatly obliged to Mr. Gregson for a copy 

 of any photograph he may take of his extraordinary varieties. 

 1 know that Mr. Gregson's success in this art has been very 

 great, and I should be glad to obtain his permission to intro- 

 duce figures of these varieties into ray illustrated ' Natural 

 History of British Moths.' — E. Newman.^
