 than in Lancashire. Localities noted are as follows: —

 fairly common in low-lying meadows between the coast and 

 Ormskirk, and between Allerton and Hale (C.S.G.); Bolton, 

 fairly common (W.J.); Preston, scarce (J.B.H.); Rainhill, very 

 scarce (H.H.H.).

 as at Raby, Stourton, and Barnston (W.G.), and Bromborough 

 (J.W.E.); the BoUin and Glazebrook valleys (J.C.); Delamere 

 (S.J.C.)j while it is local about Cheadle Hulme and Alderley 

 (H.H.C.). 



In Mosley's Illust. Var. Lepidoptera are figured two aberra- 

 tions of this species captured in Lancashire, the one, a very 

 dwarf specimen (Part III., Anthocharis, pi. i., fig. 5) taken by 

 S.L.M. at Arnside in 1877, the other (Part XIV., Anthocharis, 

 pi. ii., fig. 6) in coll. C.S.G., and taken by him at Southport, in 

 which the ground colour of the wings is pale yellow.
