112 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
It would, I think, have conduced to a fair valuation of 
M. Wailly’s article by the readers of ‘ Land and Water’ if he had 
let it be at once known that he imported continental species for 
sale, and not endeavoured to figure solely as the sarcastic 
philosopher.

ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES, CAPTURES, &c. 
PIERIS DAPLIDICE IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—I was very pleased 
to read, in the ‘ Entomologist’ of February last, of the capture 
of Pieris daplidice by Mr. Baker; and seeing that it was captured 
near Newmarket, I have thought it would be interesting to some 
of the Cambridgeshire collectors to know that in 1859 I met 
with three of this interesting insect, one at Bottisham Rise 
(about Aug. 11th), the second near the ‘ Prince Albert,’ and the 
third at Quy Church, on September 12th. At that time I always 
walked down to Newmarket, and was generally very well repaid for 
the journey, as I came across many good things; and no doubt 
if other collectors would work the same district we should hear of 
more P. daplidice being captured. During the same season Colias 
edusa and C. hyale were common. On the same road I found 
four larve of Deilephila galii. Cherocampa porcellus and C. 
elpenor were plentiful, and many other things that occur on 
chalky districts, and now and then some of the fen insects put in 
an appearance. As the distance is very short, I have no doubt it 
would pay some of our young entomologists to stay a few days at 
Bottisham, as they might spend one day at Newmarket Ditch and 
the ‘next in the Fen, thus varying their collecting. Possibly 
Reach would be better than Bottisham, as it is only four miles off 
Wicken and joins Newmarket Ditch.—H. Jogpson; 3, Clarendon 
Road, Walthamstow. 
ARGYNNIS DIA AT Hppinc.—About a month ago I saw a fine 
specimen of the above insect, in the collection of a gentleman 
living at Shepherd’s Bush, which was recently advertised for sale. 
He informed me that he had taken it at Epping some years ago, 
and he drew my attention particularly to the under-side. The 
specimen was in excellent preservation, not at all rubbed, and
