sufficient preference for the eastern side of England ; they, with the 

 next six, are said to be absent from Ireland. (*) Six Colias Edusa, 

 Pamphila Sylvanus and Linea, Thecla Quercus, Satyrus Megsera, and 

 Argynnis Adippe reach Scotland, but only its southern portion. One r 

 A. Adippe, is found in Scotland, though wanting in Ireland. t 



The ascertained range of S. Megsera does not yet warrant its being 

 transferred to the " British Type." 



III. In proceeding to illustrate the third group, or " Germanic 

 Type," comprising the South-eastern species, it is necessary to notice 

 the difficulty of drawing a line between it and the former (or " English"). 

 For instance, Pieris Cratsegi [??] and Thecla Betulse might, but for their 

 occurrence in Ireland, be referred to the " Germanic," while Argynnis 

 Lathonia and Pieris Daplidice approach the "English." Thirteen 

 species belong to the "Germanic Type," its more local members 

 being : 



Lycsena dispar. I Melitsea Cinxia. 



Thecla Pruni. Steropes Paniscus. 



Papilio Machaon. 



And those with a wider range, still, however, preserving the same 

 greater frequency on the East side and towards the South-east corner 

 of England : 



Pieris Daplidice. J 

 Argynnis Lathonia. 

 Limenitis Sibylla. 

 Apatura Iris. 



Polyommatus Adonis. 



,, Corydon. | 



Pamphila Comma. 

 Arge Galathea.^f 



None of these thirteen have been found in either Scotland or Ire- 

 land^**) 



IV. The "Atlantic" or South-western type has but one representa- 

 tive, viz. : 



Pamphila Actseon. 



It is wanting in Ireland. 



(*) Polyommatus Agestis and Nemeobius Lucina have,- with Polyommatus 

 Corydon and Melitaea Athalia, been recorded as Irish, but there is no recent 

 authority for their occurrence. \_Printed footnote. The following note occurs 

 in pencil : " P. Agestis, said to occur in Ireland." W. F. K..]

**Like the plants belonging to the same group, many of these are much 

 influenced in their distribution by the position of the chalk. Insects, in general, 

 are with us more plentiful, both in species and individuals, upon a dry limestone
