36 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
freely intermixed with bilberry. The heath terminated about the 700 
feet contour. Even allowing for the fact that Lewesdon Hill is half a 
mile south of a line of fault, I do not think it is correctly charted as 
Greensand from the 600 contour up. I should think 600 to 700, or 
perhaps 650 to 750 may be right, but the capping, I feel morally cer- 
tain, is drift. Of course the result from the insect point of view is 
curious. 
Amongst the fir trees Bupalus piniaria was abundant and wild. 
On the heath Diacrisia sannio was procured, and Ematurga atomaria 
and Phytometra viridaria were abundant. Mr. Webber tells me one or 
two specimens of Plebetus aegon have been taken there, and I should 
not be surprised, as that patch of about 20 acres was precisely like a bit 
of the heath at Bratley Plain in the New Forest. Between the 600 and 
700 foot contour, on what I believe to be the Greensand and Gault, 
Adscita (Inv) statices is reported to be not uncommon, by Mr. Case of 
Broadwinsor. I failed however to get it. Hesperia malvae was abun- 
dant, so was Nisoniades tages, but it was going over. Mr. Webber tells 
me that the species at this station 1s particularly fineand well marked, 
but I had no opportunity of judging owing to the worn condition of 
the species. Callophrys rubi was in the same condition, flying to blue- 
bells. It was very generally distributed and quite abundant, which is 
in accordance with what Mr. Webber told me. Rumicia phlaeas was 
present but not abundant. Brenthis selene not as common as at Drake 
North, but still abundant. 
Mr. Male took Melitaea awrinia here on May 27th, 1912, whilst Mr. 
Webber says Dryas paphia, Argynnis aqlaia, and A. cydippe (adippe) are 
all abundant at this station. Hugonia polychloros was also taken here 
in 1902. Aphantopus hyperantus and Heliaca tenebrata are likewise 
recorded as plentiful by both these gentlemen, whilst Adscita (Ino) 
geryon can be obtained in the number of about a dozen for an after- 
noon’s catch. 
A drop below the 600 contour brought one down to the Inferior 
Oolite, where in shady places Pararge aegeria var. egerides appeared, 
usually singly, in shady lanes round the hill. Callophrys rubi was 
joined by Polyommatus icarus and Augiades sylvanus, all of which were 
abundant. Rumicia phlaeas was not common, but the single specimen 
I procured had the underside spotting sagittate. Pertzoma affinitata 
was quite common in the hedges and flew very wildly and high. 
Immediately to the east of Lewesdon is a rounded hill called Wad- 
don, bearing a British camp. I only had a few minutes hurried in- 
vestigation of this, it is just 600 feet, and reaches the Greensand 
horizon, but is charted Inferior Oolite. From the soil, I do not feel 
disposed to question this, nor do I from the solitary insect taken on the 
hill, viz., Heliaca tenebrata.
