120 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Pararge megera was observed, and on 15th Hesperia malve, . 
Nemeobius lucina, Callophrys rubi, and Brenthis euphrosyne were 
taken, and Pyrameis cardui seen. P. cardui was again seen on 
16th and 19th, and on June 2nd. 
On May 22nd Cenonympha pamphilus was seen and on 28rd 
Polyommatus icarus. On May 31st Brenthis selene was taken, 
but it was not fully out until a week later. C.rubi was still on 
the wing, but in poor condition on June 6th, and a belated 
female H. cardamines was seen on June 7th, and the last Nemeo- 
bius lucina on June 11th. A male Epinephele jurtina, freshly 
emerged, was taken in the grass on June 14th, and the last male 
E. cardamines was seen on the same date. On June 15th 
Augiades sylvanus was seen, and on 16th one was captured. By 
this time H. jurtina was fully out. 
A note in the diary on this date refers to the ravages 
occasioned to the oak-trees for the third year in succession by 
the larve of Tortrix viridana. Rooks in flocks and other birds 
were now preying upon the pupe rolled up in the oak-leaves. — 
The first perfect insects were observed’ on June 18th, and by 
16th they were flying in thousands. On June 18th Argynnis 
cydippe was observed, and one specimen in beautifully fresh 
condition was taken. Also Aphantopus hyperanthus freshly 
emerged. JB. euphrosyne, very much worn, was still flying at this 
date. P. atalanta and P. cardui were seen, also G. rhamni, very 
late. On June 19th a single C. rubi in worn condition was 
taken, and liberated. On June 28rd two P. cardui, in poor con- 
dition, were seen on the Downs. On the same day Limenitis 
sibylla freshly emerged. Two days later it was out in quantity. 
B. selene was seen for the last time on June 28th. On June 380th 
Dryas paphia was seen and taken, also Pararge egeria (egerides), 
second brood. 
July set in wet and cold and until 13th of the month nothing 
was seen. At that date L. stbylla was much worn, having evi- 
dently suffered from the weather. A. urtice, freshly emerged, 
was seen, also Hpinephele tithonus g, and Adopea flava. On 
July 17th L. sibylia was sought for in vain in its favourite 
haunts: a contrast to the previous year when it continued on 
the wing up to the first days of August. On July 20th Argynnis 
aglaia was seen for the first time, and Agriades corydon, freshly 
emerged. On July 29th P. atalanta, newly out, was observed, 
and from this date onwards to the end of the season has been 
particularly plentiful. Celastrina argiolus was sought for in vain 
at a particular holly hedge where in previous seasons it has been 
plentiful at this date. On the same day P. megera, second 
brood, and P. icarus, second brood, were observed. ‘The first 
female of H. tithonus was also observed, all seen and taken 
hitherto having been males. Hipparchia semele was fresh out 
at the same time. On August 38rd A. corydon was fully out on
