THE YOUNG NATURALIST. 



a hollow at the foot, sheltered from the bleak 

 winds, by a lower bank between it and the 

 sloping hill, the Spiny Rose (R. spinosissima) 

 and the Bloody Geraneum ( G. sanguine urn ) 

 flower in such excessive luxuriance, that they 

 almost hide every other hue. The roses 

 flower first, making the banks pure white, and 

 as they fade off the geraneums give it a most 

 beautiful purple tint, surpassing even the 

 heathery hills of our inland moors. These 

 banks run right on, facing to the east, till 

 they reach the first rocks to which they join, 

 and here the banks are more sheltered, and 



face the south. At the foot of this south 

 bank I . found the Greasy fritillary, (M. 



artemis ) in my early days, and oh ! the de- 

 light of that discovery. They were very 

 abundant, though confined to one little 

 hollow. It was a day of alternate sun and 

 shade, and the moment the sun was obscured, 

 they ceased to fly. I was not sufficiently up 

 to the business to find them sitting, and had 

 to wait till the cloud passed by, and they 

 were on the wing again. 



To be continued.
