Stephens, in his "Illustrations of British Entomology/' 1828, writes, 

 " Not a very abundant species, frequenting dry banks, wastes, commons, 

 heaths, and woods, about the end of May and the middle of July : rather 

 plentiful on Hertford Heath and at Darenth, and abundant at Coombe Wood, 

 near Dover." 



Curtis, in his " British Entomology," 1833, writes, "Beginning of May, 

 June, and middle of July, meadows, dry heaths, banks, and road sides in 

 various parts of England and Scotland." 



The Rev. F. O. Morris, in his " History of British Butterflies," 1853, 

 writes, " I have taken this Skipper in plenty near Charmouth and Lyme 

 Regis, Dorsetshire and Devonshire. It is very abundant in Raydon Wood, 

 Essex, and, in fact, in most parts of England. In Ireland it is plentiful near 

 Galway ; it is taken also in Scotland in different parts." 



Newman, in his "British Butterflies," 1871, writes, "It is particularly 

 plentiful in flowery chalk banks in Kent, Surrey, and Sussex. In England 

 it occurs in every county list I have received."
