the two species. There is another aberration of alreus in which the 
median band is not rectilinear (but which is quite distinct from the 
extensa form), which is worth noting; for though it resembles no other 
Species in particular, it destroys the typical alveus-like appearance of 
the specimen. In this aberration the costal spot of the median band 
is lengthened basewards. So far I have seen no specimen in which 
this spot and its corresponding basal one, are joined, but it is more 
than likely that such a form does occur ‘occasionally, for I know it to 
do so in other species. 
The ground colour of the underside hindwing is somewhat variable, 
especially in the plains ; but in this respect alveus has nothing like the 
range of variation shown by other species. 
(Zo be concluded.) 
Notes and Observations on the Lepidoptera of the Witley District 
from 1912 to 1919. 
By AUSTIN A. TULLETT, F.E.S. 
The following notes and observations were made from field-work 
undertaken by Mr. Joicey and his assistants. 
The Joicey Collection of British Lepidoptera was arranged in 1917 
by Miss N. Prout, after South’s Butterflies and Moths of the British 
Isles, and we are indebted to Mr. L. B. Prout for his assistanee in 
arranging the Geometridae. The majority of specimens recorded are 
in the Joicey collection. 
Both night and day collecting was at a standstill from 1914 until 
1919, though every opportunity was taken on “ collecting days” to add 
to the collection, and the tree-trunks have been well worked. 
Collecting has been done principally by Mr. Joicey, the late Mr. A. 
Noakes, sen., the late Mr. A. Noakes, jun., Mr. G. Talbot, Mr. L. B. Prout, 
Miss N. Prout, Mr. W. Hawker-Smith, in 1919, and the writer. 
The district worked by us comprises the parishes of Witley, Hamble- 
don, and Chiddinegfold, though very little work has been done around 
Witley village and none on Witley Common. 
The following species taken by us are not recorded in * “ A List of 
the Lepidoptera occurring within six miles of Haslemere,” by F. A. 
Oldaker, M.A., F.E.S., June, 1913 :-— 
Ruralis (Zephyrus) betulae, LL. 2 recorded by H. Watkins from 
Hindhead, September 8th, 1917 ; Strymon (Thecla) prunt, L., Lymantria 
dispar, Li., Nola cucullatella, L., Palimpsestis octogesima, Hb., Agrotis 
vestigialis, Rott., Apamea ophiogramma, Esp., Caradrina ambiqua, F., 
Geometra vernaria, Hb., Mupithecita satyrata, Hb., Hupithecta absin- 
thiata, Cl., Oporabia autiwmnnata, Gn., Thera obeliscata, Hb., Lygris 
populata, L. 
The most interesting record in this list is undoubtedly that of 
Strymon pruni, which has never been recorded from Surrey before.

these Six were reared to the imago.
