Lepidoptera. 
Rhopalocera in North Lincolnshire . — 
The following is a list of the butterflies 
not universally distributed, which I have 
met with in this neighbourhood, during 
the last three years. All the twenty-five 
common butterflies have been observed 
here, except P. Alsus and P. Agestis. 
Gonepteryx Rhamni. Common. 
Colias Edusa. Plentiful last year. I 
have only seen two this season ; one, a 
fine female, early in July; the other, a 
male, much wasted, late in September. 
Arge Galathea. Very abundant at 
Lord Scarborough’s Wood, in Blyton 
Carr. 
Hipparchia Tilhonus. 
Vauessa Io. 
... Antiopa. One in Laughton 
Wood last year. 
... Polychloros. Not uncom- 
mon. 
Grapta C-album. Plentiful at Laugh- 
ton Wood and near Gainsborough. 
Argynnis Paphia. Plentiful at Lord 
Scarborough’s Wood. 
... Adippe. Rather scarce. 
Thecla W-album. Scarce. 
Polyommatus /Egon. Very abundant 
at one spot in Blyton Carr. 
Pamphila Linea. Common. 
... Sylvanus. Very common.

OBSERVATIONS. 
Camptogramma Gemmaria . — The ob- 
servations of a diligent naturalist like 
Mr. H. Rogers are always deserving of 
consideration, and as he asks for the ex- 
perience of others, as to the time of ap- 
pearance of C. Gemmaria , I gladly give 
mine, which, like that of Dr. Allchin, 
given in the ‘ Intelligencer’ of the 20th 
ultimo, is very limited. It does not, how- 
ever, quite accord with that of Mr. Rogers. 
My first capture of this insect (a male) 
was on September 22, 1857, at sugar, on 
the downs at Freshwater, and a second 
on the 10th of August of this year, on the 
wing, at Hammersmith Marsh. I have 
had no experience of the time of ap- 
pearance of the female. — James Dot-

Xanlhia Gilvago tvanled. — I should
