GENUS I. BUTTERFLIES. 



SEC. VII. S P. XLIV. LARGE BLUE. 



PI- 37- 



Arion. Linnœus. 



This fpecies of butterfly is but rarely met with in England. It is out on the 

 wing the middle of July, on high chalky lands in different parts of this king- 

 dom, having been taken on Dover cliffs, Marlborough downs, the hills near 

 Bath, and near Clifden in Buckinghamfhire. The male fly is reprefented at 

 fig. i : the female, at fig. 2: and the under fide, at fig. 3. 



S P. XLV. GLOSSY BLUE. 



Hyacinthus. 



Î met with this new fpecies of butterfly in the middle of July, flying on the 

 fide of a chalk hill near Dartford in Kent ; and have no doubt but there was a 

 confiant brood at this place, as I found them there for two fucceffive years on 

 the wing, in the middle of the fame month. The male is figured, with the 

 wings expanded, at fig 4 : the female, at fig. 5 : and the under parts, at fig. 6.
