THE wide uncertainty of the periodical appearance of this<br />

very fine butterfly in our country is very remarkable, and<br />

"whither aAvay?" between the dates of its visits is a question<br />

we cannot answer. About eighty years ago it appeared in<br />

immense numbers. Again, in the year 1819, it was observed<br />

in abundance in all parts of the kingdom: comparatively few<br />

have been seen since, but latterly, within the last few years,<br />

more have been met with, probably from having been better<br />

looked after.<br />

The neighbourhood of RaAvmarsh, near Rotherham, Yorkshire,<br />

is one of the most uniform localities for this rare insect that I<br />

am aware of. In my OAvn garden, at Nafferton, aiear Driffield,<br />

one, as there seemed no doubt that it must have been, was<br />

seen by my servant a few years since. It has occurred also<br />

near Cromer, Norfolk. I thought that I once saAv one, three<br />

or four miles south-west of the city of Worcester. It has also<br />

been captured in the following localities, the year 1846 having<br />

been unusually productive of the species:—In that year, in a<br />

garden in the suburbs of York, one Avas taken, and tAvo others<br />

were seen at the same time; one near Epping, on the 12th. of<br />

September, and another was seen; one taken near Yaxley
