A VISIT TO JETHOU. 79 



to those wishing it, so that visitors were able to have a cup of 

 tea with the refreshment they had provided. 



About live o'clock, the company re-embarked reluctantly ; 

 for the weather had become beautifully clear, and there were 

 many spots to which, had there been time, further attention 

 might profitably have been given. The captain was good 

 enough to make the tour of Jethou in returning, and thus 

 added to the pleasures of a most enjoyable excursion. 



Mr. Luff gives the following particulars of the insects 

 noticed on this occasion : — 



BUTTERFLIES. 



Pier is brassicce (Large Garden White), one specimen captured. 

 Pier is rapce (Small Garden White), one specimen captured. 

 Epinephele ianira (Meadow Brown), one specimen captured. 

 Ccenonympha pamphilus (Small Heath), common. 

 Lyccena argiolus (Holly Blue), several flying and sporting over the 



tops of the apple trees. 

 Lyccena cegon (Silver Studded Blue), one. 



Note. — On June 14th, 1860 ; at very much the same 

 season Rev. F. A. Walker visited Jethou ; he records only one 

 species of butterfly as taken there, viz. : — 



Ccenonympha pamphilus. 



The occurrence of this butterfly in Jethou as well as in 

 Herm is interesting, as the species does not occur in Guernsey. 



moths. 

 The only species taken were : — 



Eucheliajacobce (the Cinnabar), which was extremely abundant and 



in fine condition. 

 Camptogramma bilineata (Yellow Shell), one specimen, and one 



specimen of Phlogophora meticulosa (Angle-shades Moth), on 



Crevichon. 



Three species of Tinea, or small moths were taken, but 

 are, as yet, undetermined. Also nine species of Coleoptera 

 (Beetles), and three species of Bees, of which two belonged to 

 the genus Bombus (Humble Bees).
