numbers by myself (only males taken) in September 

 at Ockham Common, in S/er/rj', and one was seen later 

 near Elstead. On August 21, Mr. A. H. Hamm took 

 a male in Berkshire, near Oxford, and on August 31 a 

 male was captured near Colchester by Mr. W. H. 

 Harwood, who had also taken a specimen in that 

 neighbourhood on a former occasion. Curtis says of 

 flavcolata " taken by Mr. Lyell, at Kinnordy, in Forfar- 

 shire," while Mr. C. W. Dale informed Mr. Briggs that 

 it used to occur at Whittlesea Mere every year. De 

 Selys* says that it has been found in Scotland, but not 

 in Ireland.
