Art. CVIII. — Captures near Towcester. By Hamlet Clark, Esq. 



Sir, 



Wappenham, near Towcester, Northamptonshire, 



August, 27, 1842. 



Enclosed you will find a list of Lepidoptera which I have 

 captured in this neighbourhood during the present year ; if you think 

 it will be interesting to any of the readers of ' The Entomologist,* 

 you are at liberty to insert it. 



To the list of butterflies might be added Apatura Iris, several spe- 

 cimens of which were captured in Whittlebury Forest about three 

 years ago, but as I have never met with it I have not inserted it. I 

 have had no opportunity of investigating the nocturnal Lepidoptera 

 as I could have wished ; I doubt indeed whether the accompanying list 

 will be worth inserting, as I am convinced it gives no idea of what 

 might be captured by a diligent collector. 



I remain, Your's &c. 



Hamlet Clark.
