 In a letter from Mr. Butterfield in September, he says " On August 

 21st, I visited the ragwort, N. DaJilii swarmed. I could have filled 

 without difficulty a hundred boxes. When I had filled my limited 

 number of boxes, the next best patches of flowers had no less than six 

 Dahlii upon them. It was a real Dalilii night, as the 12th was a 

 Suspecta night. What was the most striking feature was, that on the 

 12th and 21st inst., Suspecta and Dahlii were nearly the only two 

 species that visited that particular flower." 



OrtJiosia suspecta, — Very abundant, amongst them were some v^ery 

 striking forms.
