GLEANINGS FEOM MY NOTEBOOKS— V. 

 By J. W. Heslop Harrison, D.Sc. 



Callophriis rub'i, L. Strange to say, this " Hairstreak," so 

 very plentiful in Cleveland, has never been found in Durham 

 and Northumberland, although I once found a pupa under a log 

 in West Allendale in the latter county possibly referable to the 

 species. In Cleveland it occurs within sight of Durham on 

 Eston Moor. It is probably absent from none of the moors; I 

 have seen it in profusion in the Great Hograh Eavine which 

 strikes out from Basedale, and in less quantity, although still 

 plentiful, in the pine-wood on Court Moor and everywhere on 

 Great Ayton Moor. With us the larvae feed on Vaccinium 

 myrtilhis and F. intia-idaea. 



Aph'intopus hyperanthus, L. Now almost certainly extinct 

 in Northumberland, Durham and Cleveland, The last local 

 specimens I have heard of were taken at Bradford, Northumber- 

 land, in 1884. I took it myself at Castle Howard, Yorkshire, 

 south of the Clevelands, in 1902, fluttering about grassy rides in 

 the woods. Elsewhere I have encountered it in dampish meadows 

 at many points in Co. Tyrone, Ireland. 



Aricia medon, Hiifn. This species, with all its many forms, 

 was common enough on the Durham coast when I last visited 

 it in 1914, and I have heard from friends, who have been 

 rash enough to go for it since, that they " saw " it before their 

 operations were ended by " forces beyond their control." Very 

 likely it will have benefited greatly from its four years' immunity.
