Mr. Sachse took a specimen on the 30th of August, also 

 at Mi(ldleshrough. Two specimens were taken off sugar, 

 at Glaisdale, about this time, and other three or four were 

 seen by Mr. Frank Atkinson. 



Aplecta nebulosa. — Larvse of this insect treated same as prasina, 

 but out of about twenty I only obtained four specimens, 

 emerging between end of March and early May. They fed 

 up much slower than prasina, and in this case did not 

 appear to adapt themselves so well to forcing.

* Hadena protea. — On oak trunk, near Eston, September 13th, 

 also at Ingleby and Gunnergate during the month (F.

 type at Great Ayton in previous years.
