"imported with juniper bushes in churchyard." The 

 species is also recorded as having- been taken at Birst- 

 with, Nidderdale, by Mr. F. T. Walker (Nat., July 

 1886, p. 210). 



Thera variata JJ'. J'. Many of the Dunford Bridge 

 specimens are nearly black, and all are exceptionally 

 dark (G.T.P.) ; Skipwith ! "a very handsome, dark- 

 banded form predominates" {CD. A.). 



Thera firmata -////<^. Everihg-ham ! ! (/. Sumnc7') ; Skip- 

 with Common [CD. A.). 



Hypsipetes puberata Frey. Great Ayton {T.A.L.); Hay- 

 burn Wyke, near Scarborough, larvae common in old 

 sallows on the sea-shore, Sept. 9th to 15th, 1896 

 {G.T.P.) ; Holly Carrs, Skipwith (CD.A.). 



Hypsipetes impluviata JV.J'. Yorkshire specimens 

 generally, are very much darker than forms from most 

 other districts (G.T.P.) ; Everingham ! ! (/. Sumncy) ; 

 Middlesbrough (T.A.L.) ; Skipwith {CD.A.). 



Hypsipetes elutata JV.F. The South West Riding 

 moorland forms varj' infinitely, and many of them are 

 exquisitely pretty. I know of no place where more 

 varied and beautiful specimens can be obtained than 

 on the Harden Moss Moors, Huddersfield, and many 

 of the forms in that district seem not to occur else- 

 where. A number of my. own specimens are figured 

 in Barrett's " Lepidoptera of the British Islands." 



Melanthia rubiginata JV.J'. Mr. T. A. Lofthouse records 

 the dark variety phuiibata Curt, from Middlesbrough. 

 There are numerous records of fresh localities for the 

 ordinary form. 



Melanthia ocellata L. In many, perhaps most, of the 

 Huddersfield specimens the band is very broad and 

 the pale parts are strongly suffused with pink [G.T.P.].
