306 THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 
In the Daily Graphic of August 25th Mr. J. KE. Whiting (writing 
from Hampstead) records that on August 20th he took, in less than 
three-quarters of an hour, near Croydon, 20 specimens of Colias 
edusa, of which 15 were var. helice. . We suspect Mr. Whiting cannot 
distinguish between C. hyale and C. var. helice.—Ep. 
~Isaw two male Colias edusa yesterday flying in a lane near Alne 
about 12 miles north of York.—S. Waker, York. September Tth, 
1900. 
Colias edusa has been and is still fairly common; I have also taken 
one CU. hyale and others have also been captured as well as C. var. 
helice.—(Masor) R. B. Rosertson, Forest View, Southborne Road, 
Boscombe. September 18th, 1900. 
On September 8rd, I saw C. edusa at Christchurch, Hants, and on 
September 16th, at Parndon, in Kssex.—A. Bacor, Bow House, Clapton, 
N.E. September 18th, 1900. 
Whilst in northern France during August I saw several examples 
of Colias edusa, particularly between Grandville and Avranches, on two 
separate cycle journeys. Others, again, were seen when I made a 
circuit vid Coutances. They were never in any great numbers at any 
one place, but were seen flitting along by the roadside, much as Gonep- 
teryx rhamnt does in Kent; I did not, however, have the opportunity 
of going into the fields, where they may have been much more 
abundant.—H. Auprrson, F.E.S., Hilda Vale Road, Farnboro’, Kent. 
September 20th, 1900. 
A number of specimens of Colias edusa and C. hyale have been 
recently caught here, C. hyale being more plentiful than C. edusa.— 
Epwarp Ransom, Sudbury, Suffolk. September 20th, 1900. 
Colias hyale and C. edusa have both been noticed in the clover 
fields around Chislehurst. I saw a specimen of the former on the 
golf links just outside my garden.—A. Rosryson, B.A., Sylvanhoe, 
Chislehurst. September 18th, 1900. 
I have seen C. edusa sunning itself in my garden, but did not 
disturb it.—J. C. Mosrrty, F.E.S8., Woodlands, Basset, Southampton. 
September 20th, 1900. 
While travelling yesterday by train from Lille to Paris, I several 
times noticed Colias hyale dashing about on the railway banks, from 
which I gather that this butterfly is this year numerous over here, as 
in Eneland._Jos. F. Green, F.L.8., F.E.S., Hotel Continental, 
Paris, September 21st, 1900. 
I have not personally seen anything of C. edusa species in Cumberland 
this season, but a friend of mine at Maryport writes that one has been 
taken there and another seen.—F. H. Day, F.E.§., Carlisle. 
September 22nd, 1900. 
There have been many Colias edusa in the Carnforth district during 
the last month; onemale was captured in the street this week and brought 
tome. It is some time since the species was taken here.—H. Murray, 
Lowbank Villas, Carnforth. September 22nd, 1900. 
It may be interesting to note that we have taken three Colias hy yale 
and two C. edusa here, in our own field, within the last fortnight. 
Both species appear to be fond of settling on the blossom of Centawrea 
migra. C. edusa is always scarce in this district and we have not taken 
C. hyale before.—(Miss) EH. Mituer, The Croft, Rainsford Road, 
Chelmsford. September 24th, 1900.
