in Scotland where it holds the same place as the next 
species does in England.—1858, June 6 ; 1859, June 
7 ; 1860, July 12 ; 1867, June 19 ; 1868, May 16 ; 
1869, June 23. 
3. A. Euphrosyne, L, does not appear to be a com¬ 
mon species in Perthshire. It has been found in 
Scone Woods near the locahtyfor Monesesg^andiflora, 
and at Bridge of Allan. In Scotland it seems to be 
commoner in the northern than in the southern parts, 
occurring in the same kind of places as A . Selene, but 
generally making its appearance earlier in the season. 
In fact, when A. Selene is most abundant (about the 
middle of July) the flight of A . Euphrosyne is nearly 
over. Both species are, I think, only single-brooded 
in Scotland. Scottish specimens of A. Euphrosyne 
closely resemble English ones.—1868, June 5 ; 1869, 
June 4. 
4. A. Aglaia, L. is rather less common than A. 
Selene, being found in similar situations. It is found 
on Kinnoull Hill, &c., near Perth, as well as in many 
other localities from the level of the sea up to the 
high l 3 nLng district of Eannoch. Scottish specimens 
seem to be very slightly larger than English ones. 
It is found commonly throughout Scotland.—1858, 
June 21 ; 1859, June 27 ; 1860, July 12; 1869, July 
16. 
5. Vanessa Urticce, L. —This common butterfly is 
as abundant in Perthshire as it is elsewhere, and is 
found from the sea level up to the summit of Ben 
Lawers. It is one of the few species noticed by 
“outsiders” who call it the •* Emperor Butterfly,” 
“ Devil Butterfly,” or “Witch Butterfly.” Scottish 
examples are larger than English ones. As the ap¬ 
pearance of the Yanessidse, after hibernation, depends 
on favourable weather, and is uncertain, I will not 
give dates for them. 
6 . V. lo, Lin. is by no means common in Perthshire, 
its sole claim as a native resting upon a few specimens 
taken near the Bridge of Allan. It occurs as far 
north as Forres, but is except in the very south a 
rare butterflv in Scotland. 
7. V. Antiopa L. can only be considered a very 
doubtful native of Perthshire. A specimen has been
