232 Mr. H. T. Stainton's Notes on the 



The 25 more southern species are as follows : — 



5 Vieridi Gonepteryx Rhamni, Colias Edusa, C. Hyalct 



Aporia Cratcegi and Leucophasia Sinapis. 

 2 Satyridi . . . .Arge Galathea and Hipparchia Tithonus. 



2 Nymphalidi. .Limen'itis Sibylla and Apatura Iris. 



3 Vanessidi .... Vanessa lo, V. Polychloros and Grapta C. Album. 

 3 Argynnidi . . Argynnis Pajjhia, A. Adijjpe, MeUtcea Athalia. 

 1 Erycinidce . .Nemeobius Lucina. 



6 Lyccenidce . . Thecla Belulce, T. W. Album, Polyommatus 



Argiolus, P. Corydon, P. Adonis and P. 

 (Egon. 

 3 Hesperidce ..Pamphila Linen, P. Sylvanus and P. Comma, 



Of these 25, one species, Vanessa lo, attains the latitude of 

 Edinburgh, on the eastern side of our island, and occurs right 

 across the country, having been found at Falkirk and Renfrew. 

 I have been informed that a specimen has even occurred at 

 Aberdeen, but that must be looked on as an accidental straggler. 



Of the remaining 24, 7 stop short at Darlington, 9 at York and 

 8 at Peterborough. That is, these are, speaking roundly, their 

 northern limits on the eastern side of the island. Several of them 

 travel further north on our western shores ; thus Colias Edusa, 

 which is unknown at Newcastle-on-Tyne, has appeared in Dum- 

 friesshire, Ayrshire, and in the Island of Arran ; and Argynnis 

 Paphia, which has not actually occurred quite as far north as 

 Darlington, has been observed at Arrochar, and even in the 

 neighbourhood of Rannoch. 



Perhaps it may be interesting to trace on the map the northern 

 limits of these more southern species, thus : — 



Vanessa lo Edinburgh, Falkirk, Renfrew, Arran 



(1 at Aberdeen). 

 ' Gonepteryx Rhamni. . . .Darlington, Kendal and Windermere. 

 Colias Edusa Darlington, Castle Eden Dene, Dum- 

 fries, Ayr and Arran. 

 Grapta C. Album Darlington, Castle Eden Dene, Car- 

 lisle. 



Argynnis Pajihia Scarborough, Richmond, Carlisle (1 



Arrochar, 1 Grampians). 

 Hipparchia Tithonus . .Darlington, Morpeth, Lake District. 

 Polyommatus Argiolus. .Newcastle, Darlington, Carlisle. 

 Pamphila Sylvanus ... .DarVwgion, Castle Eden Dene, Car- 

 lisle (Liverpool, common).
