37° WOODRUFFE-PEACOCK : NATURALISTS AT GREAT COTES. 



distance had to be quickly traversed in order to get back in time 

 not much of interest was obtained. A few blue butterflies {Lyccena 

 icarus), Small Coppers (Chrysophanus phlceas), and whites (Pieris) 

 were observed, and the Rev. Mr. Wilkinson obtained a caterpillar 

 of Cerura furciila (the Small Kitten moth), and one or two 

 undetermined larvse. On Angelica, Diptera were common, and 

 subjoined is a small list of those observed. The Coleoptera 

 were chiefly collected by Mr. Stephen Pegler of Retford, and 

 Mr. Thornley. An interesting and pretty capture w r as that of 

 Chrysomela didymata on Hypericum perforatum, the species being, 

 it is believed, unusual on this plant, which is usually taken 

 possession of by its neighbour Chrysomela hypericin This plant is, 

 apparently, a favourite one with the genus Chrysomela, as C staphylea 

 was found also upon it. Appended are the lists of Diptera and
