CLOUDED YELLOW. 13 



in some specimens, by a satellite smaller silvery clot. Between 

 it and the ontside margin is a row of reddish brown dots; one 

 of them large, in the direction of the middle of the upper side, 

 the others very faint. 



There is a permanent variety of the female of this species 

 — the 'Colias Helice' of some Authors, Avhicli is occasionally, 

 though but rarely, met with. It is a very interesting insect. 

 The ground colour of the wing is pale yellowish white, as are 

 the light spots on the outside margins of both wings. 



The white variety has been taken near Charmouth, by my 

 friend, Henry Arthur Beaumont, Esq., and seen by Sir Thomas 

 Lighten, Bart, between Sidmouth, Devonshire ; Lyme llegis and 

 Glanville's Wootton, Dorsetshire; near Teignmouth, Devonshire, 

 by E.. C. R. Jordan, Esq.; Brighton, Sussex; also in the Isle of 

 AVight. 



In a variety in my own cabinet, the only one of the kind 

 that I have seen, there is a divided black streak connecting the 

 central black spot on the fore wings with their black side 

 border. 



Another variety in this country is of very small size, and 

 has been erroneously made a separate species, as 'Colias Chry- 

 sothome.' 



One was seen by the Hev. J. F. Dawson, in which one of the 

 four wings Avas white, and all the other three orange -colour. 



One in my collection, captured by my brother, Frederick 

 Philipse Morris, Esq., near Charmouth, Dorsetshire, is the largest 

 that I have ever seen. Its wings expand to nearly the width 

 of two inches, and three-quarters. 



The figures are taken from specimens in my uwn collection. 

 One of them the unusully large one just referred to.
