SOME ACCOUNT OF BRIDPORT AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD. 49 
the extreme heat in June. Mr. Male records Nisoniades tages, CVolias 
edusa and var. helice (1917), and C. hyale for this locality. 
THorncome Beacon anp Hyex Down.—Thorncombe is a 590 foot 
eminence, rising sheer from the beach, with a tiny capping of Green- 
sand, and terminates Eype Down, which is entrenched. There is a 
huge beacon pile on the top, which afforded in June shelter to a num- 
ber of Pyrameis atalanta and P. cardui. I only obtained Xanthorhoé 
sociata, Aglais urticae, Coenonympha pamphilus, Aspilates ochrearva 
(citraria) here, but Mr. Male records Brenthis euphrosyne and Callo- 
phrys rubi, and Mr. Webber adds Argynnis aglaia, A. paphia, Aphan- 
topus hyperantus and Theretra porcellus, rather scarce. 
Localities I did not visit. (M=W. W. Male; W=A. HE. Webber.) 
Powerstock Common.—The following species are recorded :— 
Leptosia sinapis (olim M), Brenthis euphrosyne (M & W), B. selene (M& W), 
drgynnis aglaia (W), Melitaea aurinia (olim M), Aphantopus hyperantus 
(W), Satyrus semele (W), Melanargia galathea common but local (W), 
Bithys (Zephyrus) quercus (W), Callophrys rubi (W), Hesperia (Syric- 
thus) malvae (M), Nisoniades tages (M), Hamearis lucina (M), Taenio- 
campa miniosa, common in 1903 and 1911 (M), Trichiura crataeyi (M), 
and Adela viridella (M). 
Eeearpon.—Argynnis aglaia (M), Melanargia galathea (M), Agriades 
thetis (adonis) (M & W), and Agriades coridon (W). 
Maren Newton.—Aphantopus hyperantus (W), Agriades coridon 
(M), and A. thetis (adonis) (W & M). 
' Boar’s Barrow near Lopers.—Brenthis selene and Bb. euphrosyne 
(W). 
Satway Asa.—Huvanessa antiopa, seen in 1882, but not captured 
(W). [Norz.—I have since met the actual person who saw this 
insect. He is a collector perfectly clear as to what he saw.—W.P.C.] 
Burron Brapstock.—Agriades thetis (adonis), August 21st, 1906 
M). 
: BotHENHAMPTON AND Burton Quarrirs.—l saw this locality but 
did not visit it. It is the rough spoil heaps of quarries, where the 
Great Oolite was formerly (?) worked. Mr. Webber and Mrs. Hudson 
both record Aricia medon (astrarche), not uncommonly amongst the old 
quarries. 
Spatown.—WMelanargia galathea (M), and Satyrus semele (M). 
Gotpen Cap.—Satyrus semele (M), and a single Agriades coridon, 
on August 3rd, 1907. Mr. Male remarks in his diary, ‘‘ The first I 
have met with here, and no chalk near.’’ The nearest approach to 
Chalk is Greensand, which caps Golden Cap, though I think the cap- 
ping requires detailed examination by a geological expert, as the hill at 
the present time is heather and fir tree covered, and I surmise that it 
is probable that it is Greensand overlaid with Chalk and covered with 
drift. It is nearly 700 feet high, and this would, in comparison with 
Thorncombe just opposite, give about 180 feet thickness to the Green- 
sand, an excessive allowance if the top is plain Greensand. 
Cuarmoutu, which I have visited occasionally, is so near to Brid- 
port that I will include a few notes on it. Argynnis aglaia, bithys 
(Zephyrus) quercts, Angerona prunaria (W), Vanessa io, Hepialus 
humuli, Sesia (Macroglossa) stellatarum (HK. H. Curtis), a single speci- 
men of Nascia cilialis in the reeds in a ‘‘ weep” on the cliff, not captured, 
as I was geologizing, and by the time my brother had responded to my
