132 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



time for collecting was limited to a few hours a week in the 

 afternoons. 



The list is a combination of my own captures and observations, 

 and my remembrance, coupled with a few notes, of the above- 

 mentioned R.A.M.C. officer's captures. 



Adopoea flava, A. lineola, Thymelicus acUeon. Very common 

 in certain fields and along a grassy and flowery sunken road. 

 The proportions of each species were roughly 8:2:1 respectively. 

 Sometimes three or four lineola would be taken consecutively, and 

 then the next fifteen or twenty specimens seen would be fiava, 

 with two or three actceon. 



Augiades sylvanus. Quite common. 



Hesperia malvce. Very common in June ; much scarcer in 

 August. 



Nisoniades tages. Very common in May and June. None 

 seen later. 



Chrysophanus pJdoeas. Not very common, but some good 

 examples taken towards the end of July, 



Callophrys ruhi. Uncommon ; four or five specimens taken 

 only. 



Thecla iv-alhum. Quite common in certain spots, and often 

 very low-flying. I took several larvfe full-grown on May 24th, 

 and these duly emerged on June 30th. 



Zephyrus quercus. Observed in one locality in a wood, but 

 only a few taken owing to lack of a good long-handled net. 

 Z. bettdcB. One specimen taken in late July. 



Celastrlna argiolns. A. few good specimens taken in a glade. 



Ciqndo vmiivius. Two or three only, taken at end of July or 

 early August. 



Pleheins (egon. Only five or six specimens seen. 



Nomiades semiargus. Three specimens taken at the end of July. 



Polyommatus icarus. Abundant everywhere. 



Aricia medon. Only very few seen or taken. 



Papilio viacliaon. July and August. Fairly common on 

 waste ground where cow-parsley, thistles, etc., grow. 



Pieris hrassicce, P. rapce, P. napi. Very common, as usual, 

 up to end of August. I took one specimen of the last-named, in 

 good condition, about 35 mm. expanse only. 



Euchloe cardamines. Plentiful to about July 7th ; disappeared 

 almost instantaneously, 



Leptosia sinapis. Not seen, though one or two special locali- 

 ties seemed favourable. 



Colias hycde. Fairly common from end of May onwards, 

 chiefly over lucerne fields. C. ediisa. About twelve specimens 

 taken during end of July. Uncommon. 



Gonepteryx rhamni. Very few specimens seen. Chiefly along 

 borders of a wood on waste ground covered with wild flowers, and 

 along the banks of the river Auttie.
