II adder sHeld.—B. L. Moslej : "A specimen at Primrose Hill ou, 

 June 3rd." G. C. B. Madden : " A specimen in the Vicarage 

 garden at Armitage Bridge, early in June." G. T, Porritt : 

 " Mr. Richard Jessop exhibited a specimen he had taken at 

 Cockley Hill Top, Kirkheaton, at the Huddersfield Naturalists' 

 Society's meeting, June 18. Several others were recorded at 

 the same meeting as having been taken in the district. One 

 seen by Mr. John Conacher^ jun., in the Park, on June ord. I 

 believe I saw one in New-street, in the first week in June. A 

 deep-yellow butterfly was flying out of reach, which at once struck 

 me as being Udusa, although at the time I had not heard of a 

 specimen having been taken or seen. One seen by Mr. James 

 Varley in Almondbury Bank, July 1st; two by Mr. Walter S. 

 Varley in Almondbury Bank, early in June." 



Scarborough. — William Robinson : " It will interest entomologists to 

 hear that I have seen two specimens of Colias Edusa during 

 the recent warm weather. The first, a fine female, on the 3rd of 

 June, and again another female in my own garden here on the 

 9th. The latter was too bright in colour to suppose it had 

 hibernated ; and yet, though I have often taken the insect in 

 the south of England, I never before saw one earlier than in 

 July. On the 4th inst., with a party of excursionists at 

 Harwood Hale, eight miles from Scarborough, I met with 

 Vanessa Antiopa, a good specimen, but a little old-looking. I 

 i ailed to capture the insect, owing to its crossing a river, after a 

 chase of five minutes, and being without net ; but 1 had many 

 near views.'' 



Wath. — One by Hr. Payne, of West Melton, near Rotherham, early 

 in June. 



Ilkley. — One recorded in Entomologist of July, by Mr. Bernard 

 Hartley, of Pontefract. George Roberts, of Lofthouse, Wake- 

 field : " I caught a female specimen of Colias Edusa on Jane 

 30th, near Bolton Abbey." 



Richmond. — G. P. Harris : " On June 20th, I distinctly saw Colias 

 EdMsa fiv over the Richmond Cricket Ground ; I had no net 

 with me, but 1 watched it carefully, and satisfied myself of its 

 identity. Mhers saw it besides myself." 



This list gives records of more than two dozen specimens for the 

 county, most of which are liom the West Riding. When we state
