54 THE YOUNG NATURALIST. 



Besides these Bryophila perla and glandifera which occurred last month, may 

 still be found feeding on lichens, and A. basilinea on low plants. 



Several butterflies which have hybernated in the winter come out on mild 

 days in March as the Brimstone (G. rAamni), the Peacock [V. id), the Large 

 Tortoiseshell, (V. polychloros), the common Tortoiseshell [V. urticce), the 

 Bed Admiral (V. atalanta), the Painted Lady (C. cardui), the Comma [V. 

 c-album), and the Camber well Beauty {V. antiopa).

Platypteryx 

 Lacertula 



A Northern form of this insect, which Staudinger considers a variety 

 in Lapland and an aberration elsewhere, is called Scincula, Hub. 

 He describes it as being larger and greyer than the type. I have 

 a dingy looking specimen that may be this form, or an approach 

 to it. 



Sicula 



Falcula 



A pale form is called Pallida, White, but it is not recognized by 

 Dr. Staudinger. 

 Hamula 



There is a variety of this species called JJncinula, Bkh. It is paler, 

 and has rather a violet shade. I do not know of its occurrence 

 here 

 Unguicula 



ClLIX 



Spinula 

 Ceruua 



Bicuspis 

 Purcula 



A specimen with the band very broad was described by Curtis as 

 as C. latifascia. It is not worthy of a distinguishing name. 

 Bifida 

 Vinula
