15. Mancipium Daplidice. — Sir, — It may not be uninte- 

 resting to entomologists to be informed, that three specimens 

 of this very scarce insect have been captured at Dover during 

 the present month. Two of these I was so fortunate as to take 

 myself, on the 20th, in the field adjoining the Castle Meadow. 

 The other was secured by Mr. Leplastrier, jun., of Dover, on 

 the 18th, in the Castle Meadow. 



One of the specimens taken by myself (a male) is in the 

 most perfect condition ; the other (a female) is slightly worn. 

 The one taken by Mr. L. is a very fine specimen, but has one 

 of the lower wings a little torn. 



Until the present year, one only of these insects has, I 

 believe, been taken in the same locality since that mentioned 

 by Mr. Stephens. It was taken by a son of Mr. Leplastrier, 

 about ten years since, and is now in the possession of Mr. L.

16. Colias Hyale. — About twenty specimens of Colias 

 hyale have also been taken at Dover, between the 17th and 

 21st of this month. Out of six of these, which were captured 

 by myself, five are white, and I believe that not more than six 

 or seven of the whole number are yellow. 



A white specimen, which was secured by Mr. Leplastrier, 

 has the black spots on the upper wings lozenge shaped, with 

 the angles very sharply defined. N. B. Engleheart.

17. Hipparckia Cassiope. — On the 4th of July last, I 

 found this species in considerable abundance in the vicinity of 

 Sprinkling and Sty Head tarns, at the head of Borrowdale. 

 The female appears to be rare, and the few that I captured 

 were much wasted, although many of the males were still in 

 fine order. T. C. Heysham.

18. Deilephila Galii. — Two specimens of this fine sphinx 

 were taken in a garden not far from the village of Cumwheaton, 

 in the beginning of September, 1835, and which are the only 

 specimens I have seen that have been captured in the vicinity 

 of Carlisle. T. C. Heysham.
