Newman said it was the first he had heard of being found in 
Cumberland ; since then, however, I have seen another in the 
collection of Mr. J. W. Harris, of Derwent Bank, Broughton, who 
_ captured it near his house on the slopes of the railway. 
Pyramus Cardui (Painted Lady).—This species I find all 
over Cumberland. The larve feed on the common field thistle ; 
they are easily found, for they draw the leaves together to form a 
shelter. The butterfly is on the wing from the middle of June till 
the end of September ; it lives over the winter, and in the spring is 
to be found about the thistles depositing its eggs. 
Erebia Cassiope (Mountain Ringlet).—I hunted through the 
Lake District for many years before I was successful in capturing 
this rare species, but at last, on the top of one of the highest 
mountains, near the Vale of Newlands, I found the long looked for 
prize. I never heard of anyone being able to rear the butterfly 
from the egg or larva condition. I have had some hundreds of 
the eggs, and sent them to different entomologists, but none of 
them have been able to reara single specimen. The eggs are laid 
in July, and hatched in about fourteen days ; the young feed for a 
short time, and then go down to the grass roots. 
& Satyrus Megera (Wall Brown), Satyrus Semele (Grayling), 
__ Satyrus Janira (Meadow Brown), Satyrus Hyperanthus (Ringlet).— 
All these are to be found on Kingmoor, Todhills, at Orton, Newby 
Cross, and in Newbiggin woods. They are on the wing from 
June to the end of August. The Grayling is most plentiful at 
Silloth, but very hard to distinguish from the sand on which they 
settle. I have taken great numbers all along the coast between 
Silloth and Allonby. There are many varieties of the Ringlet 
species, the variation occurring on their under side. 
Chortobius Davus (March Ringlet), Chortobius Pamphilus 
(Small Heath).—The former of these I have only found in two 
localities, Orton (over wet peaty ground) and Newby Cross (on a 
piece of common at the Dalston end of the woods). The second 
species I have taken in low lying mosses, and on Great Gable ; 
_ they are on the wing from the end of May to the end of August.
