A LIST OP MACRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 8o 



elm near the old lime kilns ; Lycoena argiolus without holly, 

 but it probably feeds here on ivy ; Acronycta auricoma and 

 Phorodesma bajularia with only a few sprigs of oak to support 

 them ; Cucullia asteris, with hardly a handful of Solidago 

 scattered about its locality ; and Endotrichia flammealis, where 

 no brake fern that I can find grows. 



The other point is the singular richness of the locality in 

 Plume moths ; no fewer than eighteen out of the twenty-nine 

 British species inhabiting the neighbourhood of Folkestone. 

 They are as follow: — Pterophorus Berirami, not uncommon 

 amongst yarrow ; Lower Sandgate road, June and July. Pt. 

 trigonodactylus, amongst coltsfoot ; Warren, June. PL acan-

RHOPALOCERA.* 



Leucophasia sinapis. The Wood White may be met with not 

 uncommonly at Raindean Wood, about three-and-a-half miles 

 on the road to Canterbury. The spring brood is on the 

 wing in May. 



* Papilio Machaon has been mot -with year after year on the East 

 Cliff, Dover, beyond the Castle ; but has not, to my knowledge, occurred 

 in the immediate vicinity of Folkestone, though its favourite food 

 (fennel) isnot scarce.
