COLIAS EDUSA IN ENGLAND. 281 
—two on Sept. 10th and one on Sept. 18th. I saw several others near the 
same places. —Ww. G. TuEtson; Shelton Hall, Newark, Sept. 20, 1892. 
Lincolnshire.——During our drive from Mansfield to Edwinstowe a lovely 
C. edusa fluttered over the hedge, and dropped on a bright yellow frond of 
bracken. A cloud fortunately obscuring the sun for a few minutes allowed 
the net to be fixed, and the insect captured. It proved to be a freshly 
emerged male. Walking back to Mansfield next morning, one more C. edusa 
was taken in rather a tattered condition. Vanessa cardui and V. atalanta 
were fairly common. An entomological friend informs me that three speci- 
mens of C. edusa were taken near Lincoln last week, and two near Market 
Rasen, on the edge of the wolds, on Saturday. — W. D. Carr; Lincoln, 
Sept. 6, 1892. 
Thirty or forty C. edusa have been taken in the neighbourhood of 
Market Rasen since 22nd August, including the var. helice——-W. Lew1ne- 
ton; Market Rasen. 
Middlesex. — On the 2nd of August I noticed a specimen of C. edusa 
flying along the railway bank just outside Westbourne Park Station. Ou 
the 21st of the same month I saw a male C. edusa round a clump of 
flowering shrubs in a corner of Highbury Fields; exactly a week later 
(on the 28th) I observed another specimen of this butterfly settling on a 
flower in the same clump of bushes. Of other species, I have this season 
come across, in London, Vanessa urtice and V. atalanta—Haroip Hoper ;

On August the 22nd I sawa specimen of C. edusa fly across Cambridge 
Road, near the Cambridge Heath Railway Station. — R. Lapprmay ; 
25, Hellesdon Road, Norwich. 
On Saturday, Sept. 24th, while on my way to play cricket, I captured, 
in Victoria Park, E., a fine specimen of C. edusa, a female, and perfectly 
fresh. The insect was not twenty yards from where cricket was being 
played, and was easily secured.—W. KE. Lane; 9, Teesdale Street, Hackney 
Road, K., Sept. 27, 1892. 
A fine specimen of C. edusa var. helice was taken by a friend of mine in 
his garden on Stamford Hill on August 28th, and is now in my cabinet.— 
(Rev.) J. S. St. Joun; 42, Castlewood Road, Stamford Hill, Oct. 21, 1892. 
Two specimens of C. edusa were taken by a friend on Hampstead Heath 
this autumn.—Henry A. Hitt; Hampstead. 
On Sept. 8th I took a female C. edusa in a garden here. Lepidoptera 
are more than usually abundant in this neighbourhood this year, and 
I think the same may be said of ichneumons.—A. Srcu ; Chiswick. 
I took one example of each sex of C. edusa on Northwood Common on 
the morning of August 20th, and I noticed two other specimens flying along 
the embankment of the Met. Rail. between Pinner and Harrow. On the 
22nd of August I saw one flying along the railway embankment between 
West Hampstead and Kilburn. I captured a female specimen and saw 
two others in a field near Dudden Hill, Cricklewood, on August 28rd. 
While on Northwood Common (Sept. 15th),-L noticed a specimen of 
C. hyale fly over a gate into an adjoining field at the northern end, whither 
I followed it; but, on starting it afresh, unfortunately missed my siroke, 
when it became wild, and disappeared. It seemed in very faded condition. 
—(Rev.) F. A. Wacker, D.D.; Dun Mallard, Cricklewood, Sept. 15. 
During the latter part of August I have noticed a few C, edusa ina 
nursery ground at Clapton, but they now seem to have disappeared.—— 
Hersert F. Hunr; 14, Lhistlewaite Road, Clapton, N.E., Sept. 13, 1892.
