104 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
Head, at an elevation of some 2000 feet ; 
I should say, judging from the height 
given to the summit, this is a great deal 
lower than your correspondent met with 
them in Switzerland. 
Lasiommata JEgeria. This used to 
abound here, and has entirely disap- 
peared ; it abounds near Grauge, hut in 
Cumberland not one has been seen. I 
saw a specimen at Keswick, said to have 
been taken near there. 
Hipparchia Tithonus. One of our 
commonest butterflies, though not a spe- 
cimen been seen in Cumberland ; it 
abounds in Northumberland. 
Limenitis Sibylla. Mr. Armstrong, 
gardener, at Ann’s Hill, near Carlisle, 
told me he saw one for several days in 
his garden last summer; he is conversant 
with ordinary species, and has a small 
collection. I certainly could scarcely 
credit it, not being its habitat, but he 
persisted in his opinion, and Anliopa was 
also a guest the same season. 
I may here close my remarks ; and 
should like to know whether W-albutn 
and Cinxia have been taken in Argyle- 
shire : I have seen both published as 
such. I certainly did think I saw several 
specimens of Adonis on Arran in 1847, 
and a friend of mine (Mr. Doyle, of Man- 
chester) told me, a few days ago, that he 
thought he saw Avion on banks of the 
Crinan Canal, in Scotland.

[We publish Mr. Hodgkinson’s re- 
marks in extenso, but we are com- 
pelled to observe that an insect which 
a collector thought he saw is not evi- 
dence sufficient to establish a scientific 
fact.]
