  as

  as 
  on 
  the 
  chalk 
  

   downs 
  at 
  Dover 
  and 
  Folkestone, 
  we 
  have 
  taken 
  this 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  

   south

  England. 
  It 
  appears 
  also

  On 
  the 
  continent 
  its 
  

   habitats 
  are 
  just 
  as 
  varied 
  ; 
  we 
  have 
  taken 
  it

  hot 
  sun-baked 
  

   slopes

  of 
  the 
  sea, 
  the 
  insect 
  

   has 
  in 
  some

  or

  Constant

   heaths 
  of

  Barrett 
  reports 
  that, 
  near 
  Norwich, 
  it 
  haunts 
  

   chalkpits, 
  the 
  sloping

  of 
  which 
  are 
  covered 
  with 
  a 
  profusion 
  of 
  

   wild
