sand. The females were very large. This species, being able to 

 fly, was not much incommoded by the sand, but a L. punctatis- 

 sima, Bosc, which apparently came out of the brambles, was 

 quite helpless. One or two Metrioptera albopunctata, Goeze 

 seemed to try to get back into shelter, as if knowing that the 

 sand would render them helpless. On September 10th S. bicolor 

 was very plentiful on the coast at Longniddry, Haddingtonshire, 

 some of them being of a beautiful reddish-purple colour 

 (W. Evans). It was common at Newquay (Bracken). On 

 October 4th it was still about on the darkened soil of Esher 

 Common, Surrey, and a dark tendency seemed to be showing itself. 

 Near Boldermere a male Chorthippus parallelus, Zett. was 

 taken mature on June 2l8t. Bracken found it common at New- 

 quay. Evans met with it at Loganlee, in the heart of the Pent- 

 lands, on August 15th. On August 18th C. elegans, Charp. was 

 mature at Holmsley, in the New Forest.

(Concluded from p. 115.) 



Gonepteryx rhamni, L. — Seen at Disenaaen. 



Araschnia levana, L. — I am sure I saw this species at Dise- 

 naaen, but I do not seem to have any specimens. 



Polygonia c. album, L. — Disenaaen. 



Aglais urticce var. polaris, Stgr. — Seen on the wing at Kval^ 

 — very dusky examples. Imagines bred from Hammerfest and 

 Abisko larvae. The ground-colour in some is of a dull pinkish- 

 grey as exhibited in the wild examples. A lesser number have 

 in addition a black band between the middle costal spot and the 

 inner central one. One or two have the ground-colour brighter 

 red, approaching the type. 



Euvanessa antiopa, L. — Disenaaen. 



Brenthis aphirape var. ossianiis, Hbst. — A few from Mattmar 

 and Abisko. 



B. selene, Schiff. — Taken at Narvik and Bjorkliden, July 10th 

 and 11th. The silver spots are inclined to be deficient in 

 brilliancy. Var. hela, Stgr. — Specimens taken at Joraholmen 

 were of this variety, being deficient of silver spots under-side 

 hind wing, which is more or less dusky. The upper sides also 

 are darker than the type, some of them markedly so. Some 

 show a tendency to have pearly bars between the nervures 

 under-side hind wing. Ab. thalia, Hb. (rinaldus, Hbst.) — 

 One has no central spots upper-side fore wing, and has bars of 

 dull silver or pearly running between the nervures under- side.
