Art. CXI. — Captures near Ely, Cambridgeshire. 

 By Marshall Fisher, Esq. 



Sir, 



Ely, August 30, 1842. 



The following list contains all the butterflies I have found 

 within a circuit of three miles from Ely Cathedral during the past fif- 

 teen years.

polychloros 



Urticae 



lo 



Atalanta 

 Cynthia Cardui 

 Hipparchia -Sgeria 



Megaera 



Tithonus 



Janira 



Hypeianthus, rare 



Although Papilio Machaon has been frequently taken in Ely, I have 

 never found the larva here ; the insects taken I considered had been 

 brought in the chrysalis state with the sedge from Burwell or from 

 Feltwell Fens. My opinion is now somewhat altered, for during the 

 present summer I found in one of the fens, about two miles north of 

 Ely, a number of plants of Selinum palustre, or marsh milk parsley, 

 on which the larva feeds, growing very luxuriantly. Extensive works 

 for the embankment and drainage of the great Cambridgeshire locality
