Lepidoptcra in the New Forest. 
— One fine moniiiifr in June my 
hrotbev and myself started from 
our country house at Clayhill, 
Lyu<nmrst, .about two miles into 
the forest. Our way led princi- 
])iilly ihrouffh a heathy country 
intersected with clumps of beech 
and oak. On the oaks T took 
Diphthera Orion, and on the 
beech 1 took a quantity of the 
Green Silver Lines, with occa- 
sioiiiilly a Cleora vidutiria. We 
went ('ll until we came to the loca- 
lity for Aporia Cmtcrgi, which 
was in a viilley dotted here and 
there with the hhicklhorn ; here 
we took about forty specimens in 
very <rood condition. Euthewonia 
russula was very cotnmon jmt 
here, as was also the Green Fo- 
rester. We beat a Rreat qtitmtity 
of “Carpets” from the oak, ariionj; 
which we took about a dozen 
Clifden Beauties. At the same 
spot, or within a quarter of a mile 
off, is an euclostire, where abotit a 
month afterwards we caught nitie 
Apatura Iris, of which seveti were 
females, about fifty White Ad- 
mirals, and abundance of Argynnis 
idippe and Papliia, among which 
were several dark varieties of the 
female Paphia, called by London 
collectors the Black Paphia ; they 
informed me thev were very good 
things. We also took a number 
of /E. quadra and the Black 
Footman ; the latter was exceed- 
ingly abundant. Tw'o other sorts 
of Footmen were frequent here, 
but I have not yet determined the 
names of them. About three miles 
from liindhiirst is a locality for 
Arge Galatkea, which we took in 
such abundance that we filled all 
our boxes in less than an hour — 
about fifty altogther. Theda 
Querevs was frequent, although 
not so common as in some years. 
I went sugaring on two occasions 
with a collector who took during 
the time he was there, that is the 
season, fifty-three D. Orion. We 
never saw a Tripheena suhsequa, 
but I took two Orion at sugar. 
Lencania turca was very abundant 
at sugar; I frequently counted 
four or five simcimens on a tree at 
a time; the Silver Arches was also 
common. The first night I went 
we remained about two hours, and 
I filled upwards of 120 boxes: it 
was a famous night for sugaring. 
I subsequent! V went to the sea- 
coast in search of Hynle and 
Edusa. but I never saw one Ilyale 
and only one Edusa. Early in 
the spring I took several Drepana 
Jlumula. which I believe is a very 
good insect. I have taken about 
1 100 specimens this year ; of 
course a great many duplicates. 
If spared I intend next year to 
devote more time to the pursuit of 
this fascinating Ifntomology, when 
1 hope I shall be able to supply 
some of my brother entomologists 
with local species which they do 
not already possess. I have dis- 
posed of nearly all the duplicates 
of those I mentioned in the ‘ In- 
telligencer.’ — Al.I’aED ('oi.noRNE
