THE YOUNG NATURALIST. 



over wild thyme at Box-hill, and at sugar. Mr. Huckett had taken them 

 plentifully at Caterham, but always at the bottom of a slope, and in his 

 opinion they were only single-brooded. Mr. Harper said that he had taken 

 it at Folkestone and Caterham, and thought that it was a continuous brood. 

 Mr. Clark said that in his experience they were only taken locally, and in 

 some cases only in a small corner. Mr. Pearson drew the attention of the 

 members to the Geometrae, in some cases they came out in the autumn, and 

 others of a brood laid over till the next season, and he thought that perhaps 

 it might be the same with Z. alsus. — J. Russell and E* Anderson, Joint
