48 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
syringaria fairly common, Epione apiciaria and Amphidasis strataria 
(prodromaria) as fairly common also. 
Borrom Hitx.—This is a hill about 400 feet high, close to Bridport 
on the East, it is Inferior Oolite with a sandy wood at the top with a 
good many fir trees in it. This sandy soil I have referred to before. 
Pararge megera, Pieris napi, P. rapae and P. brassicae were common, 
Polyommatus icarus less so. Rumicia phlaeas and Euclidia mi were 
both present, as was Xanthorhoé (Melanippe) sociata. I picked up a 
single @ Diaphora mendica. Mr. Webber records Gnophria rubricollis 
as common amongst the fir trees. I, however, did not see it, and he 
also records Bithys (Zephyrus) quercis at the foot of the hill. 
West Bay.—A low cap of Middle Lias, to the west of this town, 
produced to me many Polyommatus icarus, including a few good ab. 
caerulea. Mrs. Hudson was here from August 11th to September 10th, 
1917, and I have set her captures and examined them. Aglais urticae 
was abundant, and included ab. nubilata, Raynor, and ab. radiata, 
Raynor. Pyrameis atalanta was also extremely plentiful. Vanessa io 
was not uncommon. Fpinephele tithonus was abundant but worn, the 
second or third brood of Pararye megera was getting worn but was 
much in evidence, a single P. aegeria var. egerides, very ragged was 
obtained, but the exact site of capture is a little uncertain, which is a 
pity in view of the fact that I never met with the first brood off the 
Oolite. Hpinephele jurtina (ianira) was worn to rags. Coenonympha 
pamphilus was very abundant. Colias edusa was seen in a clover field 
on the west side of the Brit, and Mrs. Hudson captured three ?s on 
September 6th, 1917, she also saw them on the cliff between Hype and 
West Bay, but estimates that she saw about 30 specimens altogether. 
Polyommatus icarus second brood was going over. I noticed that Mrs. 
Hudson’s catch contained very few ab. tearinus, and far less tendency 
to ab. caerulea than my captures of the first brood, and curiously in 
contrast to my wife’s experience at Poole, where on two days she 
worked assiduously at the second brood and caught a good number of 
fine ab. caerulea and a fair number of underside variations. Mrs. Hud- 
son’s only underside variation was an asymmetrical g, in which the 
dorsal spots on one of the hindwings were conjoined to form a streak. 
Rumicia phlaeas second brood was abundant, but going over. Pieris 
napi and P. rapae second broods were also fairly in evidence. Mrs. 
Hudson’s captures of Heterocera were one each of Hydroecia paludis, 
Noctua rubi, Bryophila perla, and Xanthorhoé (Melanippe) rivata, and 
many Crambus selasellus. 
Eypr.—A small seaside village about two miles south-west of Brid- 
port ; it is charted as standing on Middle’ Lias, which is I think only 
correct in part, the major part of the surface rocks and the cutting in 
the roadway to Bridport looked much more like Inferior Oolite. In 
this cutting there was always a single specimen of P. aegeria var. 
egerides, but never more. I caught one every time I passed through. 
I also disturbed Huplexia lucipara out of the herbage. Pteris napi, P. 
rapae, and P. brassicae also occurred, as well as Pararge megera and 
Polyommatus icarus, including ab. icarinus. Hipocrita jacobaeae was 
common, and I picked up eight wings belonging to two Arctia villica, 
evidently destroyed by a bird. Hesperia (Syricthus) malvae was com- 
mon on the beach sitting on damp seaweed; probably this was due to
