INSECTS 



Spilodes palealis, Sch. In the year 1875 this 

 species was obtained at Croxton, Thet- 

 ford, Booton, and Barton Bendish, con- 

 firming the records of Curtis, Stephens 

 and Wood of its presence in the county ; 

 so far as I know none have been ob- 

 served since ; and the species has be- 

 come very scarce in the British Isles
