Two blood-sampling techniques, capillary and venous, were compared using the EMIT method. No difference was found in reproducibility. However, persistent positive bias of 0.628 micrograms/ml (p less than 0.01) was noted with the capillary sampling method. Any hemolysis that occurred in the capillary sampling technique did not significantly affect the assay.

A study of spotting in seven related butterfly species in the genera Maniola and Pyronia has been initiated, in the hope of complementing previous work on Maniola jurtina. Marked individual variability has been found in six of the species. Stability of spotting over large areas has not been prominent, but a high degree of apparent geographical variability has been found in four species. Sometimes this has taken the form of clines and sometimes of quantal steps. Some of the quantal changes coincide with the appearance of different "subspecies". Among the incomplete data presented, parallel geographical variation in different species has not been an obvious feature. There have not been enough samples to test for temporal variation in spotting.
