326 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Poli/onimatus Phheas. — Exceedingly abundant everywhere 

 in Guernsey and Sark. 



Li/ccena JEfjon. — Common on the southern coast of 

 Guernsey ; abundant everywhere in Sark. 



L. Medon. — Common in Guernsey and Sark. 



L. Icarus. — Abundant in Guernsey and Sark. 



L. Argiolus. — Common in Guernsey and Sark. The 

 earliest dale I have of its occurrence is May 1st, 1871. 

 They were extremely abundant in Sark on the 8th of 

 August, 187-2. 



Colios Hyale. — Rare in Guernsey. In the autumn of 

 1808 they were extremely abundant in Sark, but I have not 

 captured one there since. 



C. Ecliisa. — Abundant in Guernsey and Sark in some 

 seasons. In 1871 and 1872 I observed very few specimens, 

 although they were abundant in the previous seasons. 



JRhodocera Rhamni. — Rare in Guernsey, but by no means 

 rare in Sark. 



Pieris Napi. — Swarming in damp meadows in Guernsey 

 and Sark. 



P. Rapcb. — Extremely abundant everywhere iu both 

 Guernsey and Sark. 



P. Brassicce. — Common in Guernsey and Sark. 



Mr. Piquet once informed me that he had taken Daplidice, 

 Lathonia, G. C-Album, and T. W-Album, iu Jersey ; also 

 Edusa var. Helice. 



You will perhaps be surprised at the absence of all the 

 Hesperidae from this list. I have never seen a single speci- 

 men of either species in Guernsey or Sark; but Linea and 

 Sylvanus were extremely abundant in Jersey on the occasion 

 of my last visit on the 21st June, 1871.

[It is intended to follow up this paper with a list of the 

 nocturnal Macro-Lepidoptera of these islands; and I hope 

 some enlomologist resident in Jersey may do the same by 

 that interesting island. We seem to have ignored this portion 

 of the United Kingdom in everything but plants and mollusks.
