PAENASSIUS APOLLO. The APOLLO Butterfly (fig. 

 2). I have good reason for believing that a specimen 

 at' this splendid Alpine butterfly was captured in this 

 country very lately, and it is not at all impossible that

 partially glazed wings ; the lower of which bear large 

 eye-spots of crimson-scarlet.

 Blandina, several specimens were formerly taken by 

 some entomologists in the Isle of Arran, where, as also 

 in other mountain districts, it may probably still exist; 

 but its haunts have to be re-discovered by some enter 

 prising butterfly-hunter. 



From Blandina, which it almost exactly resembles on 

 the upper surface, it may be distinguished by the mark-

 irregular, broken band of pure white, and between this 

 and the margin a row of three distinct black eye-spots.
