Plusia bractea IF.V. York (Sf aw ion's Ma;/ /m/) ; Pateley 

 Bridge {F.C., N'ewi/ian's Entoni., Oct., 1842); possibly 

 these are the York specimens of Stainton's Manual. As 

 this species occurs outside the county at " The Brushes," 

 Staleybridge, I feel sure it ought to be taken oftener in 

 similar localities within our boundary.

 yellow flag {Iris pseiid-acoriis) in marshy ground.
