DARK GREEN FRITILLARY. 
The chrysalis is reddish, with waved streaks of 
brown. • 
This is rather a plentiful species in most parts of 
the country. It is said to be abundant throughout 
the south of England, and we have often procured 
specimens from the middle and northern districts of 
Scotland. It is rather rare, however, in the neigh- 
bourhood of Newcastle ; but occurs abundantly near 
Durham, in the beginning of July. It has been oc- 
casionally observed in the vicinity of Edinburgh, but 
it must be regarded as somewhat scarce in that neigh- 
bourhood, as well as throughout the south of Scot- 
land.
