THIS is a very local species, though where it does occur it<br />
is found in abundance.<br />
Sywell Wood, near Northampton, Milton, Rockingham Forest,<br />
Monks Wood, and Castor Haglands W r ood, near Peterborough,<br />
Barnwell, Ashton Wold, and the neighbourhood of Polebrook,<br />
Northamptonshire; White Wood and Gamlingay, Cambridge<br />
shire; near Dartmoor, Devonshire; Clapham Park Wood and<br />
Luton, Bedfordshire, are localities for it. I have heard that<br />

the subject" has been perpetrated.<br />

This Skipper is about an inch and a quarter in the expansion
