220 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
entomologizing, I met with two men who had just taken 
a good specimen of Vanessa Antiopa. It was pinned side- 
ways in a pasteboard-box, along with a lot of Atalanta, Lo, 
and Gonepteryx Rhamni, which swarm there just now. I 
secured it for my cabinet.—John Harrison ; Barnsley. 
Vanessa Antiopa in Norfolk.—A specimen of Vanessa 
Antiopa was taken here on Friday, August 20th, and is added 
to a private collection in the neighbouring county of Suffolk. 
It measures three and one-thirteenth inches across the 
wings.—John Tudor Frere; Roydon Hall, Diss, August 22, 
1875. [From the ‘ Field.’| 
Vanessa Antiopa in Ireland.—1 am happy to tell you that 
you may add Vanessa Antiopa to the list of Irish Lepi- 
doptera, a specimen in very fine condition having come into 
my possession, taken by a nursery-maid on a road in the 
neighbourhood of Belfast.—John Bristow ; Chichester Park, 
Belfast, September 11, 1875. 
Vanessa Antiopa and Colias Edusa.—My friend Mr. Hill 
saw a fine specimen of Vanessa Antiopa near Berkeley Road 
Station, on August . 5th, but did not succeed in capturing it. 
I have been taking Colias Edusa freely on a railway-bank 
near here, and also in a clover-field near Chepstow, but 
found the females very scarce; the proportion being twenty 
males to one female. Colias Hyale I have not seen.— 
J. Preston; Fishponds, near Bristol, September 20, 1875. 
Papilio Machaon, Gonepteryx Rhamni, Vanessa Io, and 
V. Alalanta.—In the Norfolk fens the larve and pupe of 
Papilio Machaon have been scarce this season.. May not 
this be attributed to the heavy rains at the season when the 
larve were feeding? I find Gonepteryx Rhamni and Vanessa 
lo entirely absent from localities where 1 have never failed to 
get quantities in former years. Vanessa Atalanta, on the 
other hand, has been unusually abundant.—&. Laddiman ; 
Norwich. 
Colias duea near Hendon and Hampstead.—I and my 
brother have within the last fortnight captured three very 
good specimens of Colias Edusa; two near Hendon, and one 
near Hampstead Heath.—J. Hh. Sharp; September 6, 1875. 
Colias Edusa near Norwich.—On the 29th of August I 
saw, at South Walsham, a solitary specimen of Colias Edusa 
on the wing; on the 30th I also observed another near the
