26. P, j£gon, V. has only once been taken in 
Perthshire, by Mr D. P. Morison, near Pitlochrie. 
Its occurrence in other parts of Scotland is doubtful, 
though it is a common English species. It is common 
at a high elevation on the Alps, and possibly it occurs 
on some of our moors, though hitherto it has escaped 
notice except in this one instance. 
27. Lyccena Phlceas, L., is sometimes not uncom¬ 
mon, though rather variable as to the years in which 
it is common. It is found both in the Lowland and 
Highland districts, though more common in the 
former. In Scotland it has not been reported from 
farther north than Inverness-shire. Scottish speci¬ 
mens are much brighter than south European, which 
are more diffused vdth black.—1858, April 22 ; 1859, 
April 23 ; 1869, April 25. There are in Scotland 
two broods, but no dates of the second are at hand. 
28. Theda rubi^ Z/., though apt to be overlooked, 
is mdely distributed in Perthshire, occurring in 
several places near Perth, as well as in Rannoch. I 
have taken it in Inverness-shire, north of which it 
does not seem to have been taken. English speci¬ 
mens do not differ from Scottish ones. {T. Ruhi 
appears to be single-brooded in Scotland.)—1858, 
May 20 ; 1863, May 30; 1867, June 28 ; 1868, May 
9 ; 1869, May 1. 
29. T. Quercus, L. is a rarer species in Scotland 
and Perthshire than T. Pubi. It occurs in several 
places in the Lowland part of the county as far 
north as Dunkeld. Though found in Argyleshire, it 
does not seem to occur everywhere in the south of 
Scotland as might be expected, being common in 
England, specimens from which country resemble 
Scottish ones.—1859, August 9 ; 1860, July 28. 
These twenty-eight (leawng out V. Antiopa as 
doubtful) are all the species of Rhcpalocera as yet 
knovTL as natives of Perthshire. There are six other 
species indigenous to Scotland, viz. — Colias Edusa, 
Argynnis Adippe^ NemeobiusLucina, SyriclitusMalvoe 
( A Iveolus), Nisoniades Tages^ and Hesperia Sylvanus,
