NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 187 



corydon was again a great rarity in 1921. On the old var. Synrjrapha 

 ground (where the Eoyston females were put out in 1920) I saw on 

 various days only about fifty males and not any females, and, of 

 course, no varieties whatever. — G. B. Oliver ; High Wycombe. 



Colias croceus in Bucks.— A fresh male of C. croceus was taken 

 on June 1st and a very worn female on the 11th.— G. B. Oliver. 



C. croceus, etc., in Suffolk. — On June 8th I saw a C. croceus 

 flying along a dusty road here (another, or probably the same one, 

 reported same day in neighbourhood). E. cardamines were well out 

 here on May 7th and are still flying fresh and strong to-day. — 

 H. W. Baker; 26, Woodfield Terrace, Ipswich Boad, Stowmarket, 

 Suffolk, June 16th, 1922. 



Colias croceus in Cambridgeshire. — On May 24th I saw two 

 specimens of C. croceus near Cambridge and on the following day 

 several specimens in a different locality. This is an early appearance 

 compared with some of the records from the south coast in the 

 July number of the 'Entomologist.' — A. D. Torlesse (Sub. -Lieut., 

 R.N.) ; Holywood, Lymington, Hants. 



Colias croceus in Lincolnshire. — I think it may be of interest 

 to record that on June 4th I took two specimens, both females 

 rather worn, of Colias croceus ; and on June 14th I took a third 

 croceus, also a female and rather worn. I netted these three speci- 

 mens within two miles of my house. — G. T. Pigott (Major) ; 

 Somerby, Barnetby, Lincolnshire. 



Colias croceus in S. Shropshire. — It may be interesting to 

 you to know that on June 5th (Whit-Monday) three specimens of 

 Colias croceus, one male and two females, were caught in South 

 Shropshire, one by myself and the other two by my little boy of seven 

 and a half. Also last year and the year before Vanessa c-album were 

 very fairly common in this district. — (Rev.) P. Malden ; The 

 Vicarage, Cleobury Mortimer, Salop. 



Colias croceus in Worcestershire. — On Sunday, June 4th, 

 whilst out picnicking near Studley, Worcestershire, my son Allan, 

 aged thirteen, wandered off with my net and returned with a female 

 Clouded Yellow, very much worn. Is not this a rather unusual 

 species for the district ? Although I fancied I saw one in the same 

 field last year it had escaped my memory. I shall work the district 

 well later on, hoping to find the progeny of this capture. — Chas. 

 Weare ; Drayton House, King's Heath, Birmingham. 



Colias croceus in Glamorgan, etc. — Two specimens of this 

 butterfly were seen in flight at St. Fagan's, near Cardiff, on -June 5th. 

 Later in the month (June 11th) four were seen in the same district. 

 Of these three were taken, the insects being males, and all perfect, 

 Just over the county border near St. Mellon's, Monmouthshire, I saw 

 a further specimen in flight on May 27th, 1922. This butterfly was 

 frequently seen in 1901 near Cardiff, but I did not after this see il 

 locally for eleven years. About six specimens were seen in August 

 of 1920 at Sully but none were seen by me last year.— T. J. Simi.i.iv .
