Notes on H. Cassiope. — When an 
error is once committed it is very 
difficult to get it rectified. When 
Stephens published, in his “ Illustra- 
tions ” the account of IT. Cassiope 
(which neither Dr. Leach nor he be- 
lieved in, as British, till I convinced 
them by its capture), he confused IT. 
Cassiope and Mnestra sadly. 
There was a specimen of each in 
the British Museum. The former 
Dr. Leach had from Mr. Stothard, 
R. A., the original captor (who gave 
me the precise date, — June 1 1. 1809 
and [locality , — “ all the Hills about 
Ambleside,” — not “ Scotland,” as in 
the old Entom. Trans.) The speci- 
men of H. Mnestra ? (if indeed it be 
that species) Dr. Leach had from the 
cabinet of the late Hr. Letson, but 
where it came from is unknown. 
Mr. Haworth told me that ho saw 
Cassiope in August on the boggy side 
of a mountain in Westmoreland. He 
thought at the time that it was a 
small Hyperanthus but afterwards 
that it was Cassiope. The first I 
found was on the 18th. of June 1827, 
and the latest date I have heard of is 
Aug. 9th. 1827. — J. C. Dale, Gian. 
Wootton, Sherborne, Dorset. 
U. Arcanius. — Many insects have 
been given as British from the mis- 
application of flames. In the Lin- 
nean Cabinet were four or five spec- 
mens of Hipparchia ticketed as Ar- 
canius. One, on the reverse side, has 
on the ticket “Angl. Hudson rariss.” 
It is certainly not Arcanius (true), 
but is more like Typhon (or Iphis ?) 
and looks distinct from any varieties 
of Davus that I have seen. 
I have foreign specimens of Iphis 
but not being able to compare, cannot 
with certainty say whether it is 
this. — I d. 
Relaxing with Laurel Leaves. — Mr. 
Dale is right, as he almost always is, 
about the laurel leaves. I had my-
