Leucophasia Sinapis settling on fiowers. — You once asked the question in the ' Entomo- 

 logist,' '* whether L. Sinapis (the Wood White) had ever been observed to settle upon a 

 flower?" I was in the New Forest at the beginning of last autumn, and distinctly saw one 

 upon a flower. I saw it settle, and watched it a few seconds to make sure that it was 

 perfectly at rest before 1 swept it into the net. I think the flower was the lesser 

 knapweed (Centaurea Nigra). I intended to have sent you word at the time, but postponed 

 doing so till it seemed to be too late. I see, however, you have recurred to the subject in 

 your new work on ' Butterflies,' and therefore you may still be glad of the information. —
