which, however, he failed to capture. It is the white form and, 

 judging from its fine condition, it appeared to be newly emerged. —

CoLiAs HYALE IN Kent. — During a short stay at Folkestone, in 

 August, I took one female C. hyale on the 5th, and although I kept a 

 sharp look-out during the succeeding days for others, did not see 

 another until the 13th, when over some lucerne I captured two 

 females and one male. Ova were obtained from two of these, but in 

 neither case have they proved fertile. These were all the CoUas I saw 

 during the fortnight I spent in the neighbourhood. — Joseph H. Car- 

 penter ; Riverdale, Leatherhead, Sept. Gth, 1901. 



I have found this species pretty plentiful this year in Margate, 

 Broadstairs and Ramsgate district. I arrived at Margate on Aug. 

 24th, and they had then been flying a fortnight ; a friend up to that 

 time had taken fifty. On the 26th a north-westerly gale sprang up, 

 and continued, in varying degrees, till the 31st, when I left. In every 

 patch of lucerne in the district which came under my observation 

 C. hyale was to be seen. I had very little time to do any collecting, 

 and, as so often happens, when I had a net the wind was strongest, and 

 the sky became overcast ; and when I had none the sun shone brightly, 

 and hyale was plentiful. I managed, however, to bag in all thirty-two 

 specimens, including two worn and two fresh pale females, twenty of 

 which I took in an hour and a half-, during a fine interval on the 30th. 

 Given more leisure, and better luck in the way of weather, I have no 

 doubt I could have trebled the number. I did not see a single speci- 

 men of C. edusa. At Folkestone, on Sept. 5tli — a grand day — not a 

 single specimen of either C. hyale or edusa was to be seen, and I have 

 only heard of a few being taken there. — C. W. Colthrup ; 127, Barry 

 Road, East Dulwich, S.E., Sept. 17th, 1901. 



I noticed a fair number of C. hyale on the cliffs beyond Margate a 

 week or two since. — (Rev.) Henry C. Lang ; All Saints Vicarage, 

 Southend, Sept. 3rd, 1901. 



C. hyale has again made its appearance in this district. I took 

 four freshly-emerged specimens on the 18th inst., and two on the 21st, 

 and have seen three others. I kept a sharp look-out on the lucerne 

 fields all spring and early summer but did not see one, and had almost 

 given up hope. Last year I took several specimens in June, and in 

 September I obtained about thirty. — T. B. Andrews ; 276, Broadway, 

 Bexley Heath, Kent, August 21th, 1901. 



CoLiAs EDUSA IN Kent. — Siuce my note of the 24th inst. on C. hyale, 

 C. edusa has also put in an appearance ; I yesterday took twenty-five 

 (twenty-four males and one female), and saw many more. Hyale is 

 now more abundant than this time last year, but among thirty odd 

 captures to date I have only taken five females. — T. B. Andrews ; 

 276, Broadway, Bexley Heath, Kent. 



CoLiAS HYALE AND C. EDUSA IN Kent. — While Collecting at Folke- 

 stone (Aug. 19th to 31st), with the help of two of my sons, we managed 

 to net about a dozen fine C. hyale, but only saw two C. edusa. LyccEua 

 bellaryus (second brood) were out in plenty on the 20th, but all males. 

 We did not see one female until the 23rd. — -W. E. Butler; Hay ling 

 House, Reading, Sept. 7th, 1901.
