It will be observed from this list that there is an absence of 

 records for August. I was away from Dorking during that month, 

 and though on my return in September the lamps afforded a fair 

 harvest, the results for October, November, and December were very 

 poor, a great many insects that I had taken in 1902 during those 

 months being either entirely absent or present in very small numbers. 

 Still, the results for the year as a whole may be regarded as good. — 

 F. A. Oldaker ; Parsonage House, Dorking, Jan. 19th, 1904. 



POLYOMMATUS ILyCENA) AKGIADES IN SOMERSETSHIRE. I haVe a 



male specimen of P. argiades in my collection which I captured in 

 1895 or 1896 at Wrington, about twelve miles north of Bristol. I was 

 not aware of the name of my insect until I saw the figure of this 

 butterdy in the new issue of Mr. Kirby's ' Butterflies and Moths of 

 Europe.' — R. D. E. ; 3, Tirlestane Road, Edinburgh,
