214 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Master E. Richard, of 4, Chancellor Villas, West Dulwich. 

 He captured it last week near Dover Castle ; and also caught 

 two Hyale, and saw five or six others. The Lathonia unfor- 

 tunately is in a most deplorable condition. — H. Ramsay Cox ; 

 West Dulwich, September 3, 1872. 



Argynnis Lathonia at Dover. — My brother, who was at 

 Dover last Tuesday, met several boys entomologising, one of 

 whom had taken four Argynnis Lathonia the previous day, 

 and another seven during the last week or so. They were 

 principally captured in the meadow land just behind the 

 castle. 1 have since heard that as many as thirty specimens 

 have been taken in the same locality, this season, by different 

 collectors. — Geo. IV. Bird; September 21, 1872. 



Argynnis Lathonia, Pieris Daplidice, etc., at Dover. — 

 More than a dozen Lathonia have been taken here this 

 season ; also two specimens of Daplidice; Edusa and Hyale 

 have been very abundant. A pair of Lathonia were taken 

 copulating. — A. W. Owen; 3-3, Liverpool Street, Dover. 



Argynnis Lathonia at Folkestone. — At Folkestone, Sep- 

 tember 16th, I dethroned her majesty from the bloom of 

 Centaurea Scabiosa. — Charles Oldham ; Newton House, 

 Amhurst Road, Hackney, Sejjtember 20, 1872. 



Argynnis Lathonia near Yarmouth. — During the past 

 week a specimen of the Queen of Spain frilillary has been 

 caught bv a party at Bradwell Rectory. — 'Norwich Mercury^ 

 of August 31, 1872. 



Pieris Daplidice at Deal. — In the last week of August I 

 took five fine specimens of P. Daplidice near Deal, two 

 females and three males, all as perfect as though just issued 

 from the chrysalis. Will the fact of my capturing this insect 

 three successive years in the same locality, and in the same 

 spot (a grassy hollow), throw any light on the question, as to 

 whether Daplidice breeds in this country? — JV. Woods; 

 1J2, Marylebone Road, Regent's Park. 



Pieris Daplidice near Folkestone. — On the 15th of August 

 last I took a male specimen of Daplidice in a hollow at the 

 foot of the Downs, near Folkestone. The insect was in good 

 condition, and could hardly, I think, have been a "blown- 

 over." On the 22nd of August, 1871, I took a female 

 specimen of the same insect, in a lane leading to Abbot's 

 Wood, near Hailsham, Sussex. This specimen was in fair
