 2. bistigma Cwt. Bi-it. Ent.pl. 5 IS. 

 I took a single specimen of this rare insect many years 

 back in Norfolk, and the Rev. G. T. Rudd has favoured me 

 with the sexes and the following memorandum : " I find it 

 abundant on the edges of large stones on the rocky shores of 

 the Tees, between Middleton and Croft. The insect is dif- 

 ficult to see, and still more difficult to capture." 

 5. bipunctata Hal. Ent. Mag. 1. 159. 



" Cinereous: with a fuscous dorsal stripe, legs testaceous, 

 wings with a fuscous stigma. (Long: .12.)

slate-colour, tipsof thighs ferruginous; transversenervures 

 of wings suffused with fuscous. Length 2 lines, breadth 4|. 

 The Hon. C. A. Harris and myself found this insect the 

 beginning of October flying over and alighting on little 

 puddles in a brick-field near Pool. Mr. Walker takes it the 

 end of March at Southgate, and Mr. Haliday says it "in- 

 habits duck-meat [Lemna) on the surface of ponds early in 

 the spring, skipping very actively in small troops, and scarcely 

 to be taken without sweeping the surface of the water." 

 G. fontinalis Hal. Olive-brown, beneath slate-colour, legs 

 ferruginous, tarsi dusky ; wings with 3 yellow-brown 

 spots round the disc, the costa fuscous. Length 2 lines, 

 breadth 4. 

 Mr. Haliday finds this insect in the shady beds of small 

 rivulets in summer ; it is rai'e, but he has been so kind as to 

 add specimens to my Cabinet. 



For the beautiful and rare Plant figured ( Tulipa syhcstris, 

 The wild Tulip), I am indebted to W. W. Saunders, Esq., 

 who gathered it in Lord Spencer's park at Wimbledon.
