Well is it for the entomologist that his is " untaxed and undisputed 

 game." He wants no " license" to saunter harmlessly in quest of the 

 trophies of his skill, through the winding lanes of his native country, 

 and the green pathways that labyrintli her woods. Sometimes^ indeed, 

 some stupid churl is fain to exert, and probably to overstrain, his 

 deputed authority, but for the most part, the land is as free as the air 

 to the peaceful insect hunter. 



The Wood White is a very pretty object, floating lightly in the 

 glades of the wood, in a slow and undulating manner. It appears, 

 according to some accounts, to be double-brooded, the first appearing 

 at the end of May, and the second in August. 



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

 Sandal Beat, near Doncaster, Yorkshire, and repeatedly in the Ran- 

 Dan Woods, a most excellent locality for many good species, near 

 Broomsgrove, Worcestershire. It occurs also in the following localities : 

 — Barnwell and Ashton Wold, and the neighbourhood of Polebrook, 

 Northamptonshire; near Carlisle, in Cumberland; rarely near Great 

 Bedwyn and .Sarum, Wiltshire, as J. W. Lukis, Esq. has informed 

 me; in the woods on the banks of the river Dart, in Devonshire, 

 as James Dalton, Esq., of Worcester College, Oxford, has written me
