This district is varied in character. The chalk downs and 

 other formations of the coast are partly replaced inland by 

 heaths of Bagshot and Reading sands. Sometimes I fancy the 

 Bagshot more prolific than the Reading beds. Areas of London 

 Clay occur, on which is wood. Here and there is marshland, 

 and there are margins of fenland by the Frome. I have not 

 specially searched for these insects, or, doubtless, many more 

 would have been met with. 



An almost bare list suffices, as most species occurred under 

 usual conditions.

AN ACCOUNT OF AN ENTOMOLOGICAL TRIP 

 TO CORSICA. 



By Gerard H. Gurney, F.E.S. 



The following notes of a trip which I made last summer to 

 Corsica are in no way records of varieties captured or an account 

 of a profusion of butterflies seen ; for, as a matter of fact, in 

 many respects the time I spent in that delightful and romantic 

 island was, entomologically speaking, rather a failure. The 

 reasons for this were, that in the first place it was an extremely 

 late season, at any rate in the mountains, many insects not 

 appearing until a fortnight or more after one had a right to
