280 THE entomologist's record. 



brood, August 6tli-September 4th. [I saw one at St. Owen's Cross, 

 Herefordshire, on September 10th.] Although I spent a good many 

 evenmgs examining specimens at rest, for aberrations, I obtained 

 nothing very wonderful. Several I took show a tendency towards ab. 

 arcua, and females of ab. caendea, in varying shades, were as common 

 as usual. The following are the most noteworthy specimens, all being 

 underside aberrations : — (1) S' , Tintern, August 16th ; only the lower 

 of the basal spots of forewings present. (2) g , Tintern, August 22nd; 

 all the basal spots of forewings double, the lower spots inclined to unite 

 with last spot of transverse row ; in the left hindwing the ocellated 

 spots between veins lb and Ic (Meyrick's system) are united. (3) 3^ , 

 Tintern, August 30th ; the lowest spot of transverse series on both 

 forewings very small, and only faintly visible. (4) ? , Tintern, August 

 11th ; the orange spots on all the wings very large, being twice the 

 average size ; the lower ocellated spots on forewnngs showing a slight 

 tendency to unite ; above the transverse series on right forewing is a 

 small extra spot ; the spots between veins la and 16 of hindwings 

 elongated into the shape of a comma. (5) $ , Tintern, August 18th ; 

 a small extra spot above transverse row on forewings. (6) ? , Tintern, 

 August 22nd ; the forewings with extra spots like the last, as well as 

 this, the basal spots are asymmetrical conglomerations of spots and 

 streaks, and the low^est spots of transverse row very large. (7) ? , 

 Tintern, August 21st; an extra ocellated spot on left forewing, between 

 the discal spot and the top one of the transverse series.

 How many broods are there ? 



Pararge mecfaera. — First brood, June 5th- June 21st. Second brood,

 abundant.

Epinephele jurtina. — June 18th- September 1st. I saw a freshly-
