whicli approached Pantaria. Ulmata is abundant in this Dene, 

 and varies very little, these paler forms being very rare. My 

 wife took one of them vs^hich is figured in Mosley's Illustra- 

 tions (Abraxas, pi. 6, fig. 1) as the British form of Pantaria. 

 Ulmata is equally plentiful in Hezleden Dene but I have 

 never seen a striking variety there. After a cold May the dark 

 spots are larger, and a series of them is noticeably darker than 

 a similar series after a warm spring. Ulmata appears to change 

 its headquarters in the Dene every few years, and will then 

 almost disappear from that part of the wood where it formerly 

 abounded. Suffused specimens of this insect occur in some 

 of the Yorkshire woods, but I have heard of none in our 

 district.

This pretty little species is common in all mixed woods in 

 both counties. It is an exceedingly variable species, as may be 

 seen from the figures in E'ewman's work. Besides these and 

 all intermediate forms I have taken specimens in Hezleden 

 Dene, where the darker markings were pale golden brown, 

 but the most striking variety I have met with had the fringes 

 and a narrow edge round both wings pure white.
