and Westwood's edition, 1841, p. 98, and has a label to that 

 effect by Prof. Westwood : "I possess a specimen given me by 

 the late Mr. Haworth as an undoubted native specimen." 



C. phlcBcis. — A tine varied series of upwards of 150 from many 

 localities. The chief aberrations are two ab. alha, Tutt, one 

 taken near Oxford by Mr. W. Holland, the other from N. Staffs 

 taken by myself. An ab. eleus, unlabelled, from the Spilsbnry 

 Collection, and another ab. eUus, from the Champion Collection, 

 labelled "Milford, Surrey, July 29ih, 1908." A very remarkable 

 ab. sufasa, Tutt, taken in N. Staffs by Mr. H. E. F. Onions, 

 August 5th, 1918. In this specimen tbe normal bright red of 

 the fore wing is replaced by a pale buff colour along a narrow 

 subcostal strip embracing the discal spots. The rest of the wing 

 is deeply suffused with dark fuscous. In the hind wing the usual 

 red band is buff coloured and much reduced in length and breadth. 

 A very similar specimen, except tbat the ground-colour is more 

 normal, was taken in the same locality, 1917, by myself. A 

 fine ab. radiata, Tutt, Woking, August 13th, 1912, is from the 

 Champion Collection, as is also a very fine ab. jimcta, Tutt, taken 

 near Woking. It approaches ab. kochi, two of the upper spots of 

 the transverse set being elongated. There are also in the series 

 several specimens of ab. magnipuncta, Tutt, ab. parvipuncta , Tutt, 

 and ab. intermedia, Tutt, from various localities. 



Pleheius agon. — A long series of upwards of 100, but with 

 very few aberrations. A series of 12 ab. massey'i, Tutt, from 

 Witherslack. A remarkably dwarfed female specimen from the 

 Meldola Collection, taken in Surrey, is no larger than a normal 

 Cupido minimus. 



Aricia medon. — A long series embracing all three forms — 

 medon, salmacis and artaxerxcs. One ab. artaxerxes is labelled 

 "Durham, Castle Eden, capt. July 25th, 1893, by T. Maddison." 

 In three specimens of ab. artaxerxes from Kincardine there is a 

 black spot in the subterminal row of ocelli of the fore wing. 



Polyommatiis icarus. — A series of upwards of 190 from many 

 English localities and from Scotland and Ireland. There are 

 two ab. icarinus and three others closely approximating to that 

 form. A remarkable pale lilac male, ab. pallida Tutt., from the 

 Sellon Collection, is labelled " Grut's Collection." Two females 

 are entirely blue except at the outer margins. Other female 

 aberrations are too numerous for description. 



Agriades hellargus. — A series of 67, all normal. 



A. corydon. — A long series of upwards of 150. Two ab. syn- 

 qrapha from Princes Eisboro', 1917, taken by L. W. Newman. 

 Ten semi-syngrapha taken at Pioyston, 1917. One ab. corydonis, 

 Bergst., Princes Ptisboro'. Two female undersides, ab. obsoleta, 

 also from Princes Eisboro'. Another female ab. obsoleta, taken 

 by Prof. Poulton near Eeading about 1893. The above are the 

 principal aberrations.
