TUTT, The British lepidopterist usually gets few good aberrations of : yet, if each were to look carefully through his series,assuming that the specimens have come from diiierent districts, hewould probably observe that they show a considerable range of minorvariation. The specimens from our northern and western mountainsexhibit the greatest amount of variation, whilst those from the ScotchHighlands present many of the peculiar aberrational tendencies whichcharacterise the species in different parts of its wider range—for, ifthe American petrosa be really only a specialised form of the , the species practically circles the north temperate region ofthe world.
