THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
the botanical geography of Arran is 
the occurrence in its southern extremity 
of several species scarcely elsewhere to 
be found in Scotland, belonging, in 
fact, to the Flora of central England, 
and here apparently quite projected, so 
to speak, from their ordinary range ; 
these all occur within the circuit of a 
mile, on the warm southern face of the 
cliffs and steep alluvial banks that 
front the sea, at the extreme south of 
the Island, near Benan-head.” 
Mr. Hobkirk’s work on ‘ The History 
and Natural History of Huddersfield,’ 
is mainly historical, and consequently 
more interesting to antiquarians than 
to others. This portion of the work 
extends to ninety-six pages, whilst 
Geology is dismissed in eight; twenty- 
eight pages are devoted to Botany, 
and, unlike the work on Arran, the 
list of plants is a complete one, even 
Taraxacum officinale and Beilis pcrennis 
being recorded. Those who are anxious 
to obtain Dcprcssaria Petasitis will be 
interested in learning from this volume 
that its food-plant, Petasites albus , is 
naturalized in a damp hollow in an 
oak wood, near Storthes Hall.

CAPTURES. 
Lepidoptera. 
Colias Edusa and Hyale. — I have 
taken, near here, about twenty specimens 
of these species. — W. E. Heap, Clarence 
Barracks , Portsmouth ; July 16. 
Colias Edusa . — While travelling, on 
the 8tli inst., from Oxford to Exeter, on 
the Great Western Railway, I observed, 
flying over some clover near the Didcot 
Station, a specimen of this insect. I also 
saw three more on the same day, near the 
Swindon Station. — J. C. Galton, 5, Col- 
leton Crescent , Exeter. 
Colias Edusa and Arge Galathea near 
Petersfield, Hants . — On the 7th of this 
month I saw a specimen of C. Edusa, but 
was not able to capture it: I know also 
of the capture, not far from here, on the 
5th inst., of two more specimens: this, I 
see by the ‘ Manual,’ is some six weeks 
earlier than the usual time of Edusas 
appearance, and seems to promise that it 
will again be abuudant this year. Yester- 
day, the 11th inst., I came upon a large 
brood of Arge Galathea , near here, and of 
these, without a net, I captured six spe- 
cimens, and might have taken many 
more: this is the first time I have met 
with it in this neighbourhood. — Thomas 
Flood, Petersfield , Hants. 
Acidalia Rtibricala . — I had the good 
fortune yesterday, whilst in pursuit of 
E. Vespertaria, to capture a fine example 
of A. Rubricata, in the locality in which 
the specimens of that insect in Mr. T. II .
