 records another at Askham Bogs, York, thus confirming 

 the former record for this apparently unlikely locality.

* Heliothis peitigera TV. V. On September 6th, 1885, Mr. 



W. Eagle Clarke, then of Leeds, found a specimen of 

 this species (which he kindly presented to myself) at 

 rest on the Kilnsea beacon, which stands at the extreme 

 seaward edge of the sandhills at Spurn. So far as we 

 know, this still remains the only county example.

* Erastria fuscula IV.V. Mr. W. E. Brady of Barnsley 



records (Nat., 1885, p. 206) the capture of two specimens 

 at Wharncliffe about 1871 or 1872 by Mr. Henry Willits 

 of Sheffield ; but notwithstanding Mr. Brady's evident 

 faith in the record, I cannot help thinking there must 

 have been some error, probably of memory, on Mr. 

 Willits' part ; and until we have further evidence it will 

 be best not to regard the species as a Yorkshire insect.
