THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 379 



P. Gamma. — Exceedingly abundant in Guernsey and Sark 

 at all times of the year. 



Gonoptera Lihatrix. — I once found several larvae feeding 

 on sallow in Guernsey.

 Guernsey, August, 1872, at sugar.

[Three species only are added to our ordinary British 

 List, and two of these, Callimorpha Hera and Anaitis 

 praeformata, have already been impatiently knocking at the 

 door for admission; the third is a novelty, Polyphgenis 

 sericina, a Noctua of great beauty, and somewhat resembling 

 Cerigo Cytherea. — E. A^ewmaii.] 



A List of the Macro- Lepidoptera taken at Buckingham or 

 in its Immediate Neighbourhood, with Notes of their 

 Occurrence. By W. Slade, Esq. 



The following list of Lepidoptera, taken at Buckingham 

 and in the immediate neighbourhood during the years 1869 — 

 1872, is, I believe, as far at least as the commoner species are 

 concerned, a tolerably complete representation of the Lepi- 

 doptera occurring in that locality. I hope it will interest the 

 readers of the ' Entomologist.' 



Butterflies. 



Argynnis Adippe. — Claydon Woods, not common. 



A. Eiiphrosyne and Selene. — Claydon Woods, common. 



A. Paphia. — In all woods in the neighbourhood. 



Grapta C- Album. — Said to have been abundant formerly 

 in Whitllebury Forest ; not seen elsewhere. 



Vanessa Urticce. — Abundant everywhere. 



V. Polycliloros. — A number of pupae taken in 1872 by 

 myself and others, within a few yards of the same spot; 

 probably of one brood.
