" Newport, 18G1." One <? , similar to the preceding, but brighter and richer in 

 colour, clear fawn or cinnamon-brown on both sides, wilh slightly darker sexual 

 brand and apical ocellus. "Gianrilles Wootton, C. W. Dale, 1864 " (C. W. D.), 

 and at side "June 22, 18(51." An old specimen of lliis form from Dover. Two 

 fi"6 <? 6 , rather pale bi'own above, with large symmetrical whitish blotches in fore 

 and hind-wings, one having a dark transverse bar in the pale centre of the left 

 fore-wing; this is labelled " Glanvilles Wootton, C. W. Dale, 1861" (C. W. D.), 

 and dated June 2nd, 1861. Four c? (? , unsymmetrically blotched with whitish- 

 brown or bone-colour, and a ^ from the I.sle of Harris, having the fore-wings 

 almost entirely dark-brown beneath. A $ from the same locality is very dark and 

 rich-looking, the fulvous suffusion in fore-wings being singulai-ly deep in tone. Of 

 this sex, the finest variety is one entirely pale fawn-colour above, with the central 

 fulvous blotch nearly normal. " C. Blotner, 1857 " (C. W. D.), and at side, 

 "Dartmoor." Another $ is normal except the right fore-wing, which is entirely 

 pale whitish-brown or bone-colour, the apical ocellus just visible as a faintly darker 

 shade, "Glanvilles Wootton, C. W. Dale, 1874 " ; and one "From Briggs coll., 

 1896 (C. W. D.),has in each fore-wing a lai-ge suffused pale fulvous blotch enclosing 

 an elongate whitish spot below the cell, and the hind-wings largelj'and symmetrically 

 suffused with whitish-brown above and below. Nearly all these fine varieties are 

 in good condition. 



Sati/rus tilhonux, L. — Two of each sex, with well-marked supplementary black 

 spots in fore-wings, and in one, " Teignmouth," the lowermost spot is white-centred. 

 A (J with the left fore-wing completely bleached except at the base, and a very 

 fine $ aberration, in which the fulvous colour is replaced by bone-wliite, " From 

 Eev. H. Burney's coll., 1893 " (C. W. D.). 



Chortolius pamphihis, L. — One J strongly tinged with purplish-brown, and 

 a beautiful exam)5le of the same sex, with the ground-colour clear pale ochreous- 

 yellow without any fulvous tint, the margins cool grey, and the apical spot very 

 dark and conspicuous. Labelled at side, " Langport." Two or three specimens 

 with the ground-colour ])artial]y bleached, and others with the dark margins 

 obsolete. 



Erebia medea, W. V. — A fine series, but only one marked aberration, a very 

 light-coloured ? , " Forres, Salvage, 1890" (C. W. D.). 



Erehia epiphron, Knoch. — Also well represented by series from Westmoreland 

 and Perthshire, and including a very fine variety of the J , deep sooty or umber- 

 brown on both surfaces, with no trace of fulvous anywhere, but with the ocelli of 

 the fore-wings represented by black spots in elliptical pale greyish rings. '• J. G. 

 Koss, 1880" (C. W. D.). 



Chortobius davits, F. — A very fine series of 66 examples, exhibiting the great 

 range of variation for which this species is so remarkable, and including examples 

 from North Wales, Cheshire, Laiu-aslilre, Yorkshire, Newcastle, Cumberland, Kil- 

 larney, Armagh, and Orkney, 



Apatura iris, L. — A series of 23 specimens, some of which were taken by 

 J. C. Dale at Enborne, Berks, in the early years of last century. A very fine 

 ^ var. iole, Schiif, in which, however, the right hind-wing is somewhat abbreviated. 

 "From J. G.Ross coll., 1879 " (C. W. D.), and a ? in fine order, in which the 

 ground-colour is quite a light sepia-brown.
