THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

say, as soon as I bad caught him, I felt 
a pang of sorrow that I hadn’t got two ; 
so I waited au hour more, but alas ! in 
vain. I expect it is the Purple Emperor, 
hut, if so, a more easy butterfly to cap- 
ture there cannot be. I have seen three 
since you were here, and every one of 
them flew bang at me, just so high in the 
air as to suit the net: if, however, you 
miss him, away he goes, like a flash of 
lightning, over the trees. The white 
parts, when it flies, are much more con- 
spicuous than the dark, and it looks quite 
a different creature.” I have now seen 
the butterfly caught: it is Apalura Iris.

ommatus Alsus. — C. M. P., Wootton-
