2.- Timothy Grass (Phleum pmtensc) and other Grasses. 

 3. July to August. 



4. Chalk cliffs, waste grounds, meadows, and rough 

 pastures. Generally confines itself to one particular spot. 



Enebia epiphnon. MOUNTAIN RINGLET. 



!. In England this butterfly is almost entirely 

 confined to the Lake District, where it is usually abundant. 

 It is occasionally met with in the Midlands of Scotland, and 

 formerly occurred in the West of Ireland. 



Very probably this species and the next, which at 

 present appear local, will in time be found far more widely 

 distributed than is generally supposed, as many of the 

 mountainous districts of the British Isles which they are 

 likely to inhabit are yet to be explored by entomologists. 



2. Annual Meadow grass (Poa annua), and other 

 grasses. 



3. June to July ; males usually appear before females. 



4. Tarns, springs, marshy spots, and rough grassy 

 fields in mountainous districts. 



Enebia aethiops. NORTHERN BROWN. 



1. A tolerably common species in the Southern counties 

 of Scotland, its head quarters, and occurs in some abun- 

 dance in the Northern counties of England. Unknown in 

 Ireland.
