78 [September, 



Colias Edusa. — This is a true Dover insect, and occurs every year, and in cer- 

 tain valleys on the cliffs between Dover and Kingsdown commoTily. Some years it 

 is excessively abundant : take, for instance, 1877. The variety Belice, H., occasionally 

 occurs. G. Eyale. — Much rarer than the preceding, and decidedly sporadic. 



Aporia cratcegi. — This elegant butterfly I took in 1862 and 1863 on the ground 

 now covered by the Victoria Park ; it never was very common, and I have not seen 

 it since that date. 



Pieris bnissicce and raprB. — Always plentiful. P. napi. — rather local, most 

 partial to the lanes inland. P. DapUdice. — Sporadic ; Castle Hill, before the Park 

 was made ; I have never had the pleasure of taking it, but have seen it alive in the 

 net. 



Anthocharis cardamines. — This pretty species is abundant in the lanes towards 

 Kearsney, Ewell, &c. 



Leucophasia sinapis. — I have been told that it has been taken in some woods 

 near Dover, but have, no personal knowledge. 



Arge Galathea. — Yery abundant, 



Pararge ^iSgeria. — Local, lanes inland, common. P. MegoRva, same as pre- 

 ceding, but more abundant. 



lEpinephele Semele. — Very local, but abundant where it occurs ; Coombe Wood, 

 near Alkham, &c. HJ. Janira — Needs no comment. E. Tithonus. — near Canterbury. 

 E. Hyperanthus. — Lanes, common ; especially with E. Semele in Coombe Wood. 



Ccenonympha Pamphihis. — This insect seems to have the strongest constitution 

 of all the butterflies, and baffles east winds, and is always to be seen from the bleak 

 sand-hills at Deal to the shady nooks in the Warren at Folkestone. 



Vanessa cardid. — Sporadic, but always occurs, though its appearance in spring 

 after hibernation seems most general ; very abundant in 1883. V. Atalanta. — 

 Always common, inland and in gardens. V. lo. — Also common, but of very un- 

 certain appearance. V.polychloros. — Rather scarce, but taken in spring at Sandwich : 

 in the quaint little town it hibernates in the old churches and barns, and is seen in 

 the streets ; commoner than usual, 1883. V. urticcB. — Common everywhere. 



Orapta C-album. — I used to take this butterfly at Dover in 1862 — 8 : some- 

 times it occurred commonly, but I have never seeii it since, nor have I heard of its 

 capture. 



Argynnis Aglaia. — Very common on the hills near Coombe Wood, Houghham, 

 &c., but difficult to catch. A. Lathonia. — I took two at Walmer, 1875, and have 

 seen several alive taken on Castle Hill and other localities in the neighbourhood ; 

 commoner some years than others. A. Euphrosyne. — lanes, in some localities 

 common. 



MelitcBa Cinxia. — Apparently sporadic, very common about 1868, not observed 

 to my knowledge since. M. Artemis. — Very local, but abundant in some marshy 

 land between Deal and Sandwich. 



I have never seen or heard of any captures of either A. Paphia, Adippe, or 

 Selene, or M. Athalia, but it is possible they occur further inland. 



Nemeohius Lucina. — Not very common and local. 



Thecla querctis. — Woods, inland. T. rtibi.^same as preceding, but much com- 

 moner ; also in Folkestone Warren ; vei-y plentiful this year.
