LOCUSTS IN YOEKSHIEE. 



BY W. DENISON ROEBUCK, Secretary op the Leeds Naturalists' CLrs, 



During the past season, a number of locusts have been taken in 

 various parts of this county. I give the occurrences in order of time 

 so far as it can be done. 



1. The first example is one taken by Mr. B. Bagshawe in 

 High Street, Sheffield, July 5th. {Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 

 July 6th). This I have not seen. 



2. Seven weeks elapsed before the next specimens occurred. On 

 August 22nd, one was taken near Laisterdyke Station, Bradford. 



3. August 27th, one in a field at Buttershaw, between Bradford 

 and Halifax, which I have not seen. 



4. One about the same time at Armley Green, near Leeds, is in 

 the collection of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society. 



5. One about the same time was taken at Beestou Hill, Leeds.
