Well is it for tlic entomologist that his is "untaxed and 

 undisputed yanie." lie -wants no "licenee" to saunter liarndesslv 

 in quest of the tropliies of his skill, throug'h the "winding lanes 

 of his native country, and the green pathways that lahyrinth 

 her "woods. Sometimes, indeed, some stupid churl is fain to 

 exert, and prohahlv to overstrain, his deputed authority, hut 

 for the most part, the land is as free as the air to the peaceful 

 insect hunter. 



The AVood AVhitc is a very pretty ohject, floating lightly 

 in the glades of the "n-ood, in a slo"w and undulating manner. 

 It appears, according to some accounts, to be double-brooded, 

 tlie first appearing at the end of May, and the second in 

 Aiigust. 



I have once taken this interesting insect, in the year 1837, 

 in Sandal Beat, near Doncastcr, Yorkshire, and repeatedly in the 

 llan-Dan "woods, a most excellent locality for many good species, 

 near Broomsgrove, AVorcestershire. It occurs also in the follo"wing 

 localities: — Barn-svcll and Ashton AA'old, and the neighbourhood 

 of Polcbrook, Xorthamptonshii-e; rarely near Great Bedwyu
