 In 1917 I did not see a single member of this species. On Aug. 5th, 1918, 

 I took one in the Lee Abbey Woods. On visiting the same locality on 

 Aug. 9th, suddenly, at about 12.30, swarms of T. bromius appeared, hovering 

 about and settling on my clothes. To give some idea of the number, I may 

 mention that I counted 28 taken with one sweep of the net. After a time 

 they became such an intolerable nuisance that I was forced to leave the wood. 

 On my way to the seashore (about a mile distant) a few invariably appeared 

 and settled on my clothes if 1 stopped even for a moment ; and on the beach 

 I found them flying about on the rocks in fairly large numbers. I visited the 

 same locality on subsequent occasions, but never came across more than an 

 isolated specimen very infrequently.
