68 GAMBERWELL BEAUTY. 



that year, in a garden in the suburbs of York, one was taken, (as 

 was another in 1852, four in 1858, and yet another in 1859,) and two 

 others were seen at the same time; one near Epping, on the 12th. of 

 September, and another was seen; one taken near Yaxley about the 

 same time. One at Winchester, Hampshire, near some willows, on 

 the 14th. of September; two on a mulberry tree in the garden of the 

 vicarage at Stowmarket, Suffolk, and another in the same neighbourhood 

 about the same date; one near Ipswich by Mr. Charles Eaton, on the 

 30th. of August, 1852, and another on the 31st. of the previous year; 

 one in a garden at Lincoln, in August ; one at Heme Hill, Camberwell, 

 in a garden on the 12th. of September; one at Kensington, on some 

 ri]ie fruit, on the 21st. of September; one at Tottenham, in September; 

 and one seen at Streatham, resting on the sill of a window; one at 

 Weymouth, in Dorset. Two were seen at Clapham, Bedfordshire, one 

 on the 13th. of August, and the other a few weeks later on an apple 

 tree; another near Woburn, in the same county; and one was caught 

 at Bronstone Wilderness, near Leicester. 



One was seen near Ventnor, in the Isle of Wight, on some fallen 

 peaches, the 23rd. of August, and two following days; another near 

 Sea View, about two miles from Ryde, about the same time; and 

 another between Kingston and Leatherhead, Surrey, probably the 

 same that was shortly afterwards taken at Mickleham. One was taken 

 at the West India Docks, London, on the 3rd. of September, and 

 another at Limehouse about the same time; one near Mickleham; 

 one at Southwell, Nottinghamshire; one at Saffron Walden, Esse.x, 

 early in September; and some taken and others seen in different parts 

 of Norfolk, resorting to the blossoms of the ivy. One was taken 

 on the 5th. of September, 184(i, in the garden of Widmore House, 

 Bromley, Kent, by A. Henry Taylor, Esq., who, I am informed, saw 

 several others also on the same occasion; and one at Seaton Mill, 

 near Workington, Cumberland, shortly after leaving the chrysalis, on 

 the 10th. of September, 1852, of which Mr. Thomas .Jackson, of that 

 l)lace, has informed me. In previous years one was taken near Not- 

 tingham; one near Stoke-by- Nayland, Suffolk; two near Colchester, 

 and one between Dedham and Colchester, Essex, in the month of 

 August; one at Cromer, in Norfolk, in the year 1847, by H. Barclay, 

 Esq.; and formerly, whence its name, at Camberwell. 



In Scotland it has been noticed near Coldstream, Berwickshire, and 

 so far north as Ayrshire. 



The butterfly appears in the beginning of August, and, like others 

 of its class, occasionally survives through the winter, and re-appears, 

 after its long sleep, with the advance of the new year.
