  by 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  fields 
  (Biding), 
  but 
  in 
  grassy 
  lanes 
  at 
  Oxton, 
  Devon 
  

   (Studd). 
  It 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  woods 
  having 
  an 
  undergrowth 
  of 
  ling, 
  in 
  

   the 
  Huddersfield 
  district 
  (Porritt) 
  ; 
  common 
  on 
  all 
  heaths, 
  especially 
  

   in 
  the 
  spring, 
  in 
  Aberdeen 
  and 
  Kincardine, 
  also 
  at 
  Forres 
  (Eeid) 
  ; 
  on 
  

   an 
  open 
  heath, 
  surrounded 
  by 
  young 
  spruce 
  trees, 
  at 
  Wemyss 
  (Evans); 
  

   high 
  up 
  on 
  the 
  heathery 
  fells 
  around 
  Keswick 
  (Beadle) 
  ; 
  on 
  heaths 
  

   at 
  Haslemere 
  (Barrett), 
  and 
  at 
  Chislehurst 
  (Bower). 
  It 
  is 
  abundant 
  

   in 
  Dawlish 
  Warren 
  among 
  Ononis 
  (Jordan) 
  ; 
  also 
  common 
  among 
  

   Ononis 
  in 
  Epping 
  Forest 
  (Machin) 
  ; 
  and 
  near 
  Leominster 
  also 
  among 
  

   Ononis 
  (Hutchinson) 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  common 
  on 
  the 
  crest 
  of 
  the 
  coast 
  sandhills 
  

   at 
  Aldeburgh 
  (Cruttwell); 
  and 
  in 
  wet 
  places 
  on 
  Cannock 
  Chase 
  (Freer). 
  

   Barrett 
  considers 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  most 
  attached 
  to 
  coast 
  districts 
  in 
  Britain, 
  

   but 
  this 
  is 
  hardly 
  borne 
  out 
  by 
  our 
  list 
  of 
  localities. 
  Bankes 
  observes 
  

   that 
  "the 
  species 
  seems 
  pretty 
  generally 
  distributed 
  in 
  Dorset, 
  and 
  

   parts, 
  at 
  any 
  rate, 
  of 
  south 
  Devon, 
  and, 
  whilst 
  usually 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  

   common, 
  is 
  abundant 
  in 
  some 
  seasons. 
  It 
  is, 
  thanks 
  to 
  its 
  being 
  

   polyphagous, 
  able 
  to 
  make 
  itself 
  equally 
  at 
  home 
  either 
  on 
  the 
  coast- 
  

   line, 
  or 
  inland, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  found, 
  both 
  in 
  the 
  more 
  sheltered 
  parts 
  of 
  

   the 
  open 
  heaths, 
  and 
  also 
  along 
  the 
  hedgerows 
  in 
  the 
  arable 
  and 
  grassy 
  

   districts." 
  The 
  locality 
  it 
  haunted, 
  above 
  Bobbie, 
  was 
  a 
  very 
  rough, 
  

   steep, 
  flower-covered 
  slope, 
  in 
  the 
  Pellice 
  Valley, 
  where 
  "plumes" 
  were 
  

   very 
  abundant, 
  and 
  where 
  the 
  species 
  was 
  chiefly 
  disturbed 
  from 
  

   amongst 
  a 
  giant 
  Salvia 
  that 
  grows 
  there. 
  At 
  La 
  Grave 
  it 
  was 
  found 
  on 
  

   the 
  steep 
  slopes 
  by 
  the 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  road 
  some 
  little 
  distance 
  down 
  the 
  

   valley, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  pastures 
  above 
  the 
  village. 
  In 
  Germany 
  

   the 
  localities 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  much 
  as 
  in 
  Britain 
  — 
  hedgesides 
  and 
  woods 
  

   where 
  Stachys 
  abounds 
  ; 
  sloping 
  downs 
  and 
  fields, 
  among 
  various 
  

   species 
  of 
  Ononis; 
  heaths, 
  among 
  Calluna; 
  and 
  gardens, 
  among 
  

   cultivated 
  pelargoniums, 
  Stachys, 
  etc. 
  It 
  is 
  found, 
  not 
  only 
  in 
  the 
  

   lowland 
  districts, 
  but 
  reaches 
  up 
  into 
  the 
  mountains 
  to 
  an 
  elevation 
  

   of 
  some 
  3000ft. 
  or 
  4000ft., 
  for 
  example, 
  in 
  the 
  Austrian 
  Tyrol, 
  the 
  

   Hartz 
  mountains, 
  etc.
