Field Notes. 
good condition in the road leading from Barmby Moor to 
Sutton, a few hundred yards from the outskirts of the Common. 
The insect had just risen from the roadside herbage, and was 
captured before it had developed its usual strong flight. The 
day was overcast with occasional glimpses of sunshine, and a 
moderate westerly breeze. Altogether, thirteen species of 
butterflies were taken within a few hours. The ‘ Skippers/ 
Adopaea flava Briinn and Augiades sylvanus Esp., were not 
uncommon on a grassy part of the common, settling on Rag- 
wort, Thistles and Scabious in company with the Small 
Copper (Chrysophanus phlaeas L.) and the Blue (Polyommatus 
icarus Rott.). The Meadow Brown ( Epinephele jurtina L.) 
was abundant, but much worn, and several Small Heaths 
(Coenonympha pamphilus L.) also occurred in several places.. 
The three common ‘ Whites ' were in great force ; the 
Green-veined ( Pieris napi L.) being, if anything, the most 
frequent. Several Dark Green Fritillaries ( Argynnis aglaia 
L.) were seen among the brambles, and two worn specimens 
captured. The Red Admiral ( Pyrameis atalanta L.) and 
Small Tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae L.) complete the • baker’s 
dozen.’ In addition to the above species, the Dingy Skipper 
(. Nisionades tages L.) was plentiful earlier in the year. — W.

FLOWERING PLANT. 
Teratology of Corolla of Foxglove at Kebroyd. — When 
on my holidays this summer in the ever pleasant and pic- 
turesque Ryburn Valley, where the scenery is both rich and 
varied, and possesses characteristics of grace and beauty 7 
pleasantly strolling up the hillside to Kebroyd Hall, I enjoyed 
a ramble in the wood crowning the brow or scar behind the 
house. Paths wind here and there under overhanging trees, 
and there are rocky recesses covered with rock plants and 
ferns. Presently coming to an opening, a large group of fox- 
gloves produc'ed a striking feature in the woodland. On 
close examination, the terminal flower of one of the group' 
was found to be a large ‘ synanthic ’ flower, with an erect 
bell-shaped tube. It was made up of thirteen lobes, with a 
symmetrical border, and measured fully 2§ inches across. 
Its floor was light in colour, and covered with beautiful 
‘ eyespots ’ of red and lemon. The plant on which it was grow- 
ing was only of medium height, being but 2 feet io inches, 
and it had a row of nineteen flowers of the usual thimble- 
shaped or digitaliform corollas. — Joe Firth, Liverpool.

In the 700th issue of The Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine were- 
described two species of coleoptera new to the British list ; two sawflies 
new to Britain ; and a grasshopper new to Britain : not a bad ‘ bag.'
