Britain of Hemiptera-Homoptera, two of which (Deltocephalus 
Flori and D. repletus) were taken by Mr. Norman at Forres. 
A still further addition was made in the May, 1882, issue of the 
same magazine (page 276), and this article, signed ‘*G. Norman, 
Peebles, March 28th, 1882,” was probably the last he wrote, 
for he died suddenly, at Peebles, on July 5th of that year. 
Late in 1873 we find him in Canada, where he remained for 
two years. The first year, 1874, he stayed at St. Catherines, 
Ontario, and in 1875, near Orillia. One reason why he went 
out was to endeavour to find the habitat and study the life 
history of the very rare Agrotis fennica,* and in the January 
issue of the Canadian Entomologist for 1874, we find a letter 
from him, asking for information as to where it occurs, its 
economy in the larval state, food plant, &c.{ A year later, in 
the same journal,} he gives a paper on “‘ Captures of Noctuide 
at St. Catherines, Ontario,” the list including ‘‘several species, 
and even some genera, hitherto new to science.” Detailed 
descriptions of these appear in the Bulletin of the Buffalo 
Society of Natural Sciences, and are mostly written by Mr. 
Aug. R. Grote, of Buffalo.§ 
In April, 1875, at the request of the Editor of the Canadian 
Entomologist, Mr. Norman gives a few hints on ‘“‘ Sugaring for 
Noctuez,”’|| which I think will not be uninteresting to our 
members; I therefore quote them in full (see note at the end 
of this paper). 
In the December issue of the same journal (page 226), 
soon after Mr. Norman left for Europe, Mr. Grote gives some 
‘‘Lepidopterological Observations,’ in concluding which he 
says :— 
‘‘ The specimens illustrated on the accompanying Photographic Plate 
were taken at St. Catherines, or Orillia, by Mr. George Norman, of 
Cluny Hill, Forres, Scotland, and are interesting since they are mostly 
types of new species described in these pages. Their discovery is due to 
the scientific enthusiasm of Mr. Norman, who has spent two years in 
Canada to the benefit of Entomological knowledge and the pleasure of his 
North American friends.’’4/ 
After his return from America he still contributed to the 
Canadian Entomologist, the issue for April, 1876, containing a 
* Mr. N. F. Dobree tells me that he has since found the habitat of 
Agrotis fennica to be in Western Siberia. See Entomologist, Dec., 1887.

§ Vol. x (1873-4), Vol. 2 (1874-5), and Vol. 3 (1875-6). On the cover of 
the second volume of this series, in Mr. Norman’s handwriting, is a list of 
“New Species added to the N. American Noctua fauna found by G. N. 
during 1874-5.’’"—27 in all! || Canadian Entomologist, pages 61-62.
