again and retired to a little distance, when the Stoat returned, and 
carried it, in the same manner as before, up a high bank and through 
a hedge. The egg appeared to be held by the head and neck, with- 
out being carried at all by the fore paws of the animal, which were 
used in running. This story is less marvellous than the old one of 
the Rats using one of their companions, lying on his back, as a 
sledge, and his tail as the harness.

A PpRoposEeD Postscriet To Mr. Woxtaston’s Note on 
Nesrra tivipa (Zool. 1517)’. 
[‘ Zoologist,’ v. (1847) p. 1674.] 
“T sHouLp mention that my friends the Wolleys, first told me of this 
Bridlington locality, with full particulars. They found it out eleven 
or twelve years ago, and had the pleasure of announcing it to 
Mr. Arthur Strickland, of Bridlington, who at that time had only 
two or three specimens from Scarborough, which he valued greatly. 
The old story was, that Nebria livida was to be found ‘ under heaps 
of sea-weed at high-water mark,’ and in such situations they searched 
for it in vain, at Bridlington, Flamborough, Filey, and Scarborough, 
but at last George Wolley found one accidentally, when grubbing 
under a bank for fishing-baits, within the harbour of Bridlington, and 
almost simultaneously his brothers found it in plenty in the cliffs, 
for several miles along the south sands, living in the numerous 
cracks and fissures. They never found it between Bridlington and 
Flamborough, 7. e. on the north cliffs, which are not so sandy as 
those to the south. J. W. has also found it in similar situations at 
Scarborough.”

Cambridge, 17 September, 1846, was headed “Capture of Webria livida at 
Bridlington,” and begins “ During a late excursion on the Yorkshire coast I had 
the satisfaction of taking several specimens of this interesting insect.” There is 
no mention of Mr. Wolley or his brothers having told him where and how to 
find it, but it may be remarked that he and the Wolleys were always on friendly 
terms.—ED. |
