 J, B, Hodgkinson ; 15, Spring Bank, Preston, September 

 2, 1871. 



Lepidoptera Captured i?i the New Forest. — The following 

 are some of the best of my captures during a fortnight's stay, 

 from the 5th to 21st August: — 



Argynnis Paphia var. valezina. One. 



A. Adippe and Aglaia. Not rare. 



Limenitis Sibylla. Common; but of course worn. 



Melanagria Galathea. One. 



Satyrus Semele. In abundance everywhere on heaths. 



Epinephele Hyperanthus. Two. 



Lycsena yEgon. Abundant on heaths. 



L. Corydon. One ; taken flying amongst long grass in 

 Rhinefield Sandys enclosure. 



Leucophasia Sinapis. One. 



Acherontia Atropos. One larva of the olive variety. 



Liparis Monacha. Two ; one male, one female. The 

 female has laid me a batch of about 150 eggs. 



Cleora Lichenaiia. One. 



Pseudoterpna cytisaria. Abundant. 



Ephyra punctaria. Not rare at sugar; also by beating. 



Acidalia trigeminata. Three ; at sugar. 



Selidosema plumaria. Five. 



Notodonta dodonaea. One larva. 



Acronycta Alni. Found a larva on bramble, which had 

 changed its last skin all but the head ; but having been 

 unable to free itself from it, had died of starvation. It could 

 not have been dead long, as all the markings were still 

 distinct, and the colours bright when I found it. I took it on 

 a sloping hill outside Foxleaze, on the Brokenhurst road. 



Sugar was not unprofitable: the following were the best 

 captures by its means : — 



Cymatophora diluta. One. 



Hydrsecia nictitans. Two. 



Cerigo cytherea. Not rare. 



Triphsena janthina and fimbria. Common. 



T. interjecta. One. 



T. subsequa. Eleven. This came regularly to sugar in 

 one locality, but never in any abundance, three being the 

 largest number seen in one evening.
