VANESSA ANTIOPA (vaV.). 



Variety of Vanessa Antiopa. — T beg to offer you an 

 extraordinary specimen of Vanessa Antiopa, thinking you 

 would like to figure it in the 'Entomologist.' — George Hoadle]j 

 King ; 190, Great Portland Street. 



In this beautiful variety of the well-known Antiopa, or 

 white-bordered butterfly, the white border is remarkably 

 broad, and its limits are very indistinctly defined, and 

 scarcely perceptible at the apical angle of the fore wing : 

 it is irrorated with black, and in the hind wings it assumes 

 an entirely different form, the dark and light portions of 

 the wing uniting in an oblique but direct line : the usual 

 series of blue spots within this pale border is entirely want- 

 ing, as is the inner of the pale costal spots, so conspicuous in 

 ordinary specimens. 



Liparis dispar in Essex. — I believe most entomologists 

 will be interested in the statement as to the occurrence
