156 THE ENTOMOLOGIST, 



Euchloe cardamines. — A long series from many localities, but 

 very little variety, except three very small si3ecimeus. 



Leucophasia sinapis. — A long series of upwards of 100, includ- 

 ing many ab. diniensis. Two specimens approach very nearly 

 to ab. erysimi, having only a very few scattered grey scales at 

 the apex of the fore wing. 



Colias hijale. — Upwards of 70, chiefly from Sussex and Kent, 

 but including a fine series of 15 from Oxford taken by Mr. A. H. 

 Hamm. There is also a pale buff-coloured male from the Isle of 

 Wight from the Meldola Collection. In a very remarkable 

 specimen from the Spilsbury Collection, the black border is pro- 

 longed to the discal spot in the costal part of the fore wing, and 

 the usual pale marks in the black area are reduced to three small 

 dots in the upper half and a small spot towards the inner angle. 



C. edusa. — A long series of upwards of 120, including 24 

 ab. helice. A female taken in Oxford, by Mr. A. H. Hamm, 

 has a very large discal spot, thus approaching the Himalayan 

 C. fieldii. A fine lemon-coloured male, taken at Sidmouth in 

 1872, was presented to the collection by Prof. Poulton. In some 

 of the females the spots in the marginal black area are greatly 

 reduced in size, and in one the spots are practically obsolete. 



Gonepteryx rhamni. — A long series without many aberra- 

 tions. A fine gynandromorph, in which the male colour 

 predominates, has the female coloration in the whole of the 

 left fore wing except the costal portion and in the lower portion 

 of the right hind wing. It was taken near Beading about 1873 ; 

 presented to the collection by Prof. Poulton. In a short series 

 from the Champion Collection three males have the undersides 

 of a buff colour instead of the normal greenish, while the 

 uppersides are of the usual sulphur colour. Two of the females 

 have the undersides pale buff with upper sides cream-coloured. 

 They were all taken or bred at Woking about 1912. There is 

 also a cream-coloured female with pale buff underside bred at 

 Oxford, August 9tb, 1918, by Mr. A. H. Hamm. 



NYMPHALID^. 



Apaturin^. 

 Apatura iris. — A fine series of 34 — 19 males, 15 females, 

 all but one in perfect condition. Eighteen have full data. Of 

 these 14 are from the New Forest, from the Chitty, Sellon 

 and Meldola Collections. Four are bred from larvae found near 

 Oxford by Mr. J. Collins. The remainder, which are without 

 data, are from the older Hope and Spilsbury Collections. 



Nymphalin^. 

 Limenitis sibylla. — A series of 58, mostly from the New Forest, 

 but 11 from Berks, 7 from Surrey and 2 from near Oxford. All
