SEPTEMBER. 257 



Several Small White Butterflies out, and also saw one or two 

 sparkling little Coppers. 



Leaves of the Garlic Mustard very prominent now. 



Picked up a Red Admiral Butterfly; it offered no resistance. 

 What a beautiful creature when closely examined 1 The blackish 

 wings with the black and white fringes, the broad red band in the 

 fore wings, and the red edging on the hind wings, spotted with 

 black, very delicate. 



Thus finishes September. What a lovely month it has been; 

 almost continual sunshine. We have had only one wet day, and it 

 has been one of the very best months in the year. Now for October !
