List of Captures in tlte New Forest durinfj Jiihj and the 

 beginning of August, 1871. By A. B. Farn, Esq. 



In spite of very cold weather (so coUl, that a fire on the 

 last day of July was most acceptable), accompanied with 

 nmch wind and rain, there was no dearth of insects in the 

 New Forest dining the past season, although butterflies 

 were not nearly so numerous as during the previous 

 season : — 



A. CratcegL — A series. 



L. Sinapis. — V^ery few. 



L Sibglla.—FleutiM. 



V. Polyckloros. — Not uncommon. 



A. Paphia, A. Adippe, A. Aylaia. — As usual, common. 



A. Selene. — Not quite over. 



P. JEjgon. — Not uncommon ; but difficult to obtain in fine 

 condition owing to the bad weather. 



C Ligniperda. — One. At sugar. 



N. Strigula. — Plentiful. At sugar. 



D. Chaonia. — Larvae not uncoma)on. 



P. Monacha. — By no means so common as in last season. 



C. Miniata. — By no means so common as in last season. 



L. Helveola, L. Mesomella. — lij no means so common as 

 in last season. 



L. Slramineola. — Two. 



L. Complana. — Not uncommon. 



L. Complanula. — Very common. 



L. Quadra. — Not rare. This species seems as if it wonld 

 again become common. The males, judging from my expe- 

 rience, come to sugar earlier in the evening than the females : 

 thus, on the 21st July, I took six males before 10.30 p.m., 

 and six females after that time. 



E. Russ u la. -:-Noi uncommon. 



C. JacohcecB. — Plentiful — as larvae. 



D. Hamula. — One. At sugar. 



T. Derasa, T. Batis. — By no means so common as during 

 last season. 



C. Ridens. — Common. In larval state. 



D. Orion. — One only. 



A. Leporina — Saw two that had been taken. 

 A. Ligustri. — Not common.
