It would be interesting to know of other localities for it 

 in Ireland besides those mentioned. It will be seen that 

 among the coastal counties there are no records from Meath, 

 Louth, or Sligo, and twelve inland counties are also without 

 records. The Donegal records are not very clear, as neither 

 of the Messrs. Campbell mention specific localities. 



I must congratulate Mr. Crawford and his son on the 

 beautiful aberration which the latter captured at Port- 

 balHntrae. It is the first aberration, as far as I know, 

 recorded from Ireland. Mr. Kane, in his Catalogue," 

 does not mention any aberration, nor do any others who have 

 recorded the capture of the butterfly in Ireland, so that the 

 capture is very remarkable and should set lepidopterists 

 looking out for varieties of this butterfly in Ireland. In 

 England a good many varieties occur, and Mr. Barrett and 

 Mr. South have figured several in their respective works 

 on British Butterflies. One in which the basal silvery spots 

 are united is called var. Charlotta. It was known, Mr. South 

 says, to early entomologists as the " Queen of England 

 Fritillary."
