have been recorded without dates. Mr. Eedle, Lord Walsingham’s 
collector, took eight beautiful specimens at Horning, several of 
which appeared to have but just emerged from the pupa. Two 
were taken at Cantley in the last week of August by the son of 
the station-master, Mr. Thos. Harding, and were recorded in the 
Daily Press, these have been seen by Mr. Stevenson ; and in the 
Mercury there is a notice that three specimens, and one of 
Argynnis lathonia, have been taken at Bnidwell Eectory. 
Mr. H. j\I. Upcher, of Sherringham, informs me that he has 
.seen fourteen : — one each on August 20th and 21st, one at 
Salhouse on the 2.3rd, the next day five at Sherringham and one 
at Hempstead, and five more at Sherringham on the 24th. Most 
of them were in the midst of the covers in an open green lane. 
Mr. C. M. Lowe, writing to the Entomologist, says, “we have 
seen eleven here within the last few days;” and the Eev. J. L. 
Brown tells me that a clergyman at Matlask also took eleven 
specimens at Sherringham, there must, therefore, have been a largo 
number in that neighbourhood. 
Two specimens have been seen at Buxton by Mr. Gambling; 
the Bev. J. W. Colvin informs me that several have been taken 
near Yarmouth ; and the Eev. T. Marsh records in the Norfolk 
Chronicle the capture of one at Diss. 
The last specimen of which I have any account was taken by 
the Eev. T. jMarsh, on a bleeding tree in his own glebe at Cawston, 
on September 13th ; three having been seen there a few days 
previously. With these exceptions I have heard of none since 
September 2nd, and am of opinion that the majority either left 
this district, or went into winter quarters for hybernation, during 
the storms of wind which blew about that time. If, as I hope, the 
latter is the case, we may hope to see a few of these beautiful 
insects sunning themselves in the warmer days of next April and 
May. 
Since the above was written a notice has appeared in the 
Norfolk Chronicle of the occurrence of a specimen at Xorth 
Creak. On January 5th a young lady -was passing under some 
trees, when it fell in a torpid condition upon her hat.
