NOCTU^. 83 



Richmond (G.F.ff.) ; Scarborough, taken plentifully 

 on Oliver's Mount (T. JK). 



Noctua brunnea JF.F. Abundant throughout the West 

 Riding, and probably equally so elsewhere. 



Noctua festiva JV. V. Abundant in most places, and no 

 doubt common everywhere. 



Noctua conflua Tr. This, by some considered only a 

 variety oiN. /estiva, occurs, Mr. Sang says, on the heaths or 

 mosses at Richmond. I am not sure that I have not seen 

 it on the West Riding moors, and possibly it occurs in 

 other moorland districts, but is generally passed over as 

 N.fesiiva. 



Noctua Dahlii Hiib. The Bradford district seems to be 

 headquarters for this rather local species : some seasons 

 it visits the ragwort flowers there in profusion, and some 

 nice varieties may be picked out.
