Dr. G. B, Longstaff on 
sharp movement the wings are further closed, and 
the eye-spot is visible no longer. ZH. janira asa 
rule shows eye-spot while resting [7.c. during tem- 
porary rest in daytime]. 
July 12. Mortehoe. Watched G. brassice, 2, resting 
on a bramble flower; wings closed so that the tip 
was the only part of fore-wing visible. 
July 18. Mortehoe. Watched V. wrtice at rest, quite 
5 m. without stirring. It raised its wings but did 
not completely close upper-wing behind lower, so 
leaving a (roughly) equivalent triangle of upper- 
wing showing, including the whole of the dark 
costal mark. 
July 14. Mortehoe. H. hyperanthus at rest shows 
eye-spot of fore-wing, like H. janira [i.e. at tem- 
porary rest]. 
At 8.25 p.m. saw H. janira settle down to rest. Eye- 
spot of fore-wing quite concealed. 
At 8.35 p.m. saw P. sylvanus resting. Wings turned 
up flat over back, not in characteristic “ skipper ” 
attitude. 
July 15. Mortehoe. Saw H. janira settled (in sun- 
shine) with eye-spot of fore-wing quite covered. 
Saw G. napi settled with about half of discoidal cell 
of fore-wing showing. Afterwards saw one with 
only tip of fore-wing showing. 
August 11. Mortehoe. P. megera at rest does not shut 
up like S. semele (at least not during temporary 
rest in hours of flight). It usually sits with wings 
almost completely expanded. 
Aug. 12. Mortehoe. Saw G. rape, 2, settled, towards 
dusk (nearly 8.0 p.m.), on a bramble leaf in a hedge. 
Wings vertical. On left side none of fore-wing 
showing but bare apex. On right side a large part 
of fore-wing showing. On careful examination 
this was found to be due to the fact that the right 
hind-wing was split, and the fore-wing had got 
caught in the cleft, this preventing complete 
closure on that side. 
Aug. 13. Mortehoe. Saw H. tithonus at rest; wings 
entirely closed up. A cloudy evening. 
Aug. 23. Watched whites in Sandy Lane. When 
settled for rest they look very much like turned- 
back leaves of bramble, near or on which they are
