A few Mornings tcith Pieris Daplidice, Argynnis Laihonia, 

 Colias Hgale, C. Edusa, S^'c. — Having just returned from a 

 three weeks' cruise (on land) on our southern coast of Kent, 

 I give you a short account of my seeings and doings. 1 arrived 

 at Dover on the afternoon of August 31st; the next morning 

 I took a walk to the i'avourite hunting-ground for butterflies,

 one I was in search of, and the next moment he was in my 

 net, and he proved to be a most lovely male Daplidice that 

 had, apparently, only that morning come out of chrysalis. 

 I remained there for another two hours walking over the most 

 favourable looking ground, but not another could I see : one
