 18th, etc. 



Polia chi, var. oUvacea. — Two specimens of this variety taken 

 at sugar, at Linthorpe, on August 25th. 



Aporophyla lutulenta. — This insect was recorded for the first 

 time for this district by Mr. Sachse in the 1898 Proceedings, 

 but seeing that only one locality is given for it in Mr. 

 Porritt's Yorkshire list, I think it is worth while to record 

 the sjaecimens taken this season. The first specimen 

 occurred at sugar in garden, at Linthorpe, Middlesbrough, 

 on August 28th; further ones occurred on August 31st, 

 September lat, female, 4th, 5th (2), and 13th, September

 (W. Sachse). Ingleby Greenhow, July 3rd (F. Elgee). 



Aplecta prasina. — Kilton Woods, July 15th. A female taken 

 which laid ova. These hatched out in due course, and I

 possible with the intention of preventing their going into 

 hybernation. When food became scarce in December I fed 

 them on slices of apple, witli the result that they all had 

 pupated by the end of the year (W. Sachse). Ingleby 

 Greenhow, dark form, July 3rd (F. Elgee). 



Aplecta nehulusa — Kilton Woods, July 15th. A female taken 

 which laid ova, which, when hatched out, were treated 

 same as previous species, but they took less kindly to the 

 process, fed up much slower, and I only obtained six 

 pupse (W. Sachse). 



*Hadena glauca. — Occurred at lEston Hills on May 30th 

 and June 6th, and also at Great Ay ton on June 3rd and 

 10th. Females, taken on the 3rd and 6th, laid large 

 quantity of ova. Ova laid on the 8th hatclied out on the 

 17th June. The larva; from these and otiier batches, 

 amounting to 200 or 800 in all, fed up very rapidly, but 

 when full fed they si'omed to take some disease, and all
