part of the Forest, but generally plentifully in that to the west of 
Monk’s Wood. In like plenty may also be found L. alexis, 
Vanessa urtice, Pieris napi, P rape, P. brassice, and Polyommatus 
phleas. In the lower grounds, and almost all over the Forest, 
the skippers are represented by Hesperia sylvanus and H. linea. 
Towards the end of the month Gonepteryx rhamni, the second 
brood of L. argiolus, V. polychloros, Thecla betule, and T’. quercus, 
may be found, the latter often in great plenty. Around the fields 
and open glades sporting in the sunshine will be found almost 
everywhere S. tithonus, S. janira, and usually swarms of S. 
hyperanthus. Colias edusa, if it should occur in any numbers, 
will be sure to show up on the edges of the Forest. 
A visit to High Beech early in the month may not be too 
late to obtain Erastria venustula, and still further on in Monk’s 
Wood, by diligent searching on the trunks of the trees, Stawropus 
fagi may yet be taken. — Procris statices also, about Chingford and 
Sewardstone, may yet be found on the tops of the clover and on 
the flowers of the ragged-robin. Liparis monacha will also be 
upon the wing, but it is not common, although another of the 
same family, viz., L. awriflua, abounds. Nola cristulalis, and L. 
salicis, on the borders of the Forest around Walthamstow, and 
Calligenia miniata also will be out, and on the trunks of the 
willows, Cossus ligniperda. Those who neglected to obtain 
Odonestis potatoria in the larval state will be able to do so now 
upon the wing. Notodonta camelina will not yet be over, nor 
Platypteryx hamula. Bombya neustria may be seen, and the 
second brood of Cilia spinula may now be taken. JB. quercus is 
out this month and particularly abounds along the lanes of 
Sewardstone, and anyone who has bred a female may do well at 
assembling. To those of a very patient turn of mind, a fair 
amount of searching on the black poplar, in the vicinity of 
Monk’s Wood, may yield reward in the shape of larve of 
Clostera reclusa, and those who like beating may hope to find 
on the oak the larvee of N. chaonia, N. dodonea, and N. trepida, 
and the honeysuckle should be searched for the larve of Macro- 
glossa fuciformis. Among the Lithoside on the wing may be 
mentioned, L. complanula, and the Zygena family is represented 
by Z. filipendule, both obtainable at Chingford. 
The list of Geometre will be found to be very varied and 
extensive, so much so in fact that our space in this journal will
