 ton, Croxton, Thetford, Brandon ; plen- 

 tiful in the 'Breck' district among

 British Isles 



Erastria fuscula, Sch. St. Faiths, near Nor- 

 wich, Merton, Foulsham, Foxley ; in

walls

 has recorded the capture of a specimen 

 of this noble species at Holkham ; and 

 the Rev. T. H. Marsh of another at 

 Cawston. Dr. Paget noted the occur- 

 rence of an example at Yarmouth, and 

 another has been taken at Hunstanton. 

 The capture by Dr. E. W. Carlier of 

 a fine specimen near Norwich, in 1894, 

 was rendered less satisfactory by the 

 discovery that two specimens reared that 

 season in Norwich from foreign larvae 

 had accidentally escaped
