from Dartmouth larvae ; one larva found hybernating under primrose leaf, 

 sent by Mr. W. Harwood, full-fed April 27th, came out May 23rd. The 

 other Pearl Bordered Eritillary {Selene) was equally well distributed in the 

 same district, Westbourue, Stoughton Down, and at Hay ward's Heath ; a 

 female taken in cop, laid eggs on June 9th of the following year; one larva 

 found in June (figured) was full grown July 30lh. Artemis, Mr. Buckler 

 took a whole series, 192 larvae on Scabiosa succisa at Warblington ; in other 

 localities in Hampshire the same insect is found extremely plentiful. Cinxla 

 were bred, a beautiful lot, from the usual Sandown and Bembridge cliff 

 locality. Athalia larvse were sent by Mr. Newman, and from Colchester 

 (W. H. Harwood), fed up May 21st, and emerged June 27th and 30th j the 

 remainder of series being perfect insects from various friends. V. c-album, 

 from Rotherham, several bred from larvae September 9th to 19th, found on 

 currant bushes in gardens, also on hop, came from Mrs. Hutchinson, of 

 Leominster ; fed up August 23rd, the beautiful larvae are figured in the Ray 

 Society's recent volume, plate ix. Urtica, from Hampshire and Sussex, a 

 plentiful species. Polychloros were taken in the garden at Lumley Cottage, 

 feeding on elm, also from Exeter ; full-fed June 24th and June 19th, emerged 

 July 21st and 17th respectively. Antiopa, a British example, was pur- 

 chased by Mr. Buckler, almost the only insect I can find this remark 

 refers to.
