3 
CAPTUEES- 
Pieris Daplidice, Argijnnis Lalhonia, 
— A splendid specimen of Pieris Da- 
plidice was taken here, on the 13ih inst., 
by Master C. Viggers, and is now in my 
possession. Below are a few of my caj>- 
tures since I last wrote you : — 
Colias Edusa (26), 
„ „ pale variety (1), 
„ Hyale (6), 
Argynnis Lathouia (5), 
Sphinx Convolvuli (1), 
Theda Belulae (7), 
Cynthia Cardui (12), 
Polyommatus Adonis (5), 
„ Corydou (6), 
Melitaea Athalia (7), 
Nemeophila Lucina (2). 
Acherontia Alropos are making their ap- 
pearance, three being in my breeding- 
cage this evening. — A. Russell, Ash- 
ford; Sept. 17. 
Vanessa Anliopa — This has twice been 
seen near here; once by a friend of mine, 
who struck at it, but missed it ; the other 
by a little girl. — William Laycock, 
Bath Street, Sheffield; Sept. 19. 
Vanessa Antiopa in Westmoreland . — 
I succeeded in capturing this beautiful 
insect, on the 19th inst., in the flower- 
garden here, feeding on the Ageratum. 
On the 17th I saw, but did not capture, 
a fine specimen of Colias Hyale. Neither 
of these insects, as far as I can learn, was 
ever seen in this neighbourhood before. 
— David Leslie, Gardener, Appleby 
Castle, Westmoreland ; Sept. 20. 
Vanessa Antiopa in Scotland. — Yester- 
day forenoon I observed in the fields, at 
Edrom, near Dunse, a splendid specimen 
of the Camberwell Beauty, an insect 
which is, as far as my knowledge extends, 
pretty rare in England, and as yet hardly 
known as an inhabitant of Scotland. 
Unfortunately, not having a net with me 
at the time, 1 was unable to secure it, 
but had the mortification of seeing it, 
after alighting and allowing me to ap- 
proach within two yards, fly high among 
some trees, where I lost sight of it. — 
R. H. Traquair, 30, Clarence Street, 
Edinburgh ; Sept. 17. 
Colias Edusa. — In taking a walk yes- 
terday I saw, and took, a fine specimen of 
this insect, and saw another, but did not 
succeed in taking it. I also saw a fine 
specimen of Grapta C-Album, but was 
unable to take it. — Matthew Hill, 
Little Eaton, near Derby ; Sept. 9. 
Colias Edusa at Macclesfield. — I cap- 
tured on Wednesday, the 8th inst., a 
very fine specimen of Colias Edusa at 
Macclesfield. When I saw it I was in 
raptures of joy, for I had never seen one 
on the wing before. I have been to the 
same loeality again, but to no purpose. — 
D. G. Goodall, 2, Gates, Macclesfield ; 
September 14. 
Colias Edusa seen near Perth. — To-day 
I went out on an entomological ramble, 
and write to tell of my captures, but 
more especially of what I saw. First I 
went to Kinnoull Hill, and took the larva 
of D. Coryli, and a great variety of 
Geometrina larva. I then crossed over 
to Muirhall, which overlooks the Carse of 
Gowrie, one of the most fertile spots of 
Scotland, both in an agricultural and 
entomological point of view (the larvae of 
A. Atropos has been taken there this 
year). At Muirhall I took more Coryli, 
&c., and being rather tired sat down to 
enjoy a pipe. The place where I took 
up my position is near a marshy place, 
where Argynnis Aglaia and Selene, Poly- 
ommatus Artaxerxes and Alsus, C. Por- 
cellus, &c., may be taken. While calmly 
enjoying the “weed” my attention was 
attracted to a butterfly, which I at first 
thought was a faded Aglaia; but no, it 
was too late for that, and besides its flight 
was peculiar; this put me on the qui 
vive, and as it passed within two yards 
(oh, that I had had my net!) I caught a 
glance of orange wings with black bor- 
ders. “ Corpo di Baccho, Edusa ! ” and
