Aug. 20 to Sept. 7. T. Betulue (14), but 
few of them were perfect, the weather 
being very windy and rainy nearly the

It seldom, if ever, flies unless the sun 
shines, and then only at intervals. 
There was but little sun for many days. 
I visited the Trench Woods frequently 
after it, fully determined to capture 
some good specimens, if possible: with 
all the beating, searching and hunting 
I was capable of, I could never gel 
more than one or two in a day ; and

condition, though in a mirthful mood, 
I was upon the point of quilling the 
saturated wood when a sudden and

it into my box, since we both had come 
to a coni undcrslnnilin^ about the sellle-
