56 DARK GREEN FRITILLARY. 



The chrysalis is reddish, with waved streaks of 

 brown. 



This is rather a plentiful species in most parts of 

 the country. It is said to be abundant throughout 

 the south of England, and we have often procured 

 specimens from the middle and northern districts of 

 Scotland. It is rather rare, however, in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Newcastle ; but occurs abundantly near 

 Durham, in the beginning of July. It has been oc- 

 casionally observed in the vicinity of Edinburgh, but 

 it must be regarded as somewhat scarce in that neigh- 

 bourhood, as well as throughout the south of Scot- 

 land.
