128 Field Notes. 



*Gelechia solutella. Great Ayton, 10/6/1916. One previous Yorkshire 

 record. 

 Gelechia ajfitiella. Yearby, Eston, and Great Ayton, 7/1918. 



*Bryotropha senectella. Kildale, igii . Mandale. Two previous records 

 in Yorkshire list, one being Redcar, J. Sang. 



*Lita fraternella. Kildale, IQ15. Marton in Cleveland, about garden 

 Cerastinm. 



\Blastotere {Argvresihia) gJahyatella. Off palings, near South Bank 

 Station. Possibly from the Fir Woods on the Eston Hills, about 

 two miles away. This species was first added to the British list 

 by Lord Walsingham in 1906. E.M.M., p. 169. 



]Cedestis gysselinella. Great Ayton, July. 1913. 



*Ornix torquillella. Kildale, 6/1918. L. S. Brady. 



^Coleophora artemisiella Scott. Among Artemisia maritima Cargo Fleet, 

 near Middlesbrough. It is interesting to notice that this species 

 was described by Scott, a gentleman who lived in Middlesbrough 

 some time in the ' fifties ' of last century, and it is possible it was 

 described from local specimens. It is mentioned in Robson's 

 ' List of Lepidoptera of Northumberland and Durham.' Vol II., 

 Pt. 2, p. 197. Mr. Sang's records in his diary are all for Middles- 

 brough. 



\Laverna hellerella. This species feeds on apple shoots and occurs 

 fairly freely in the garden, Linthorpe, flying about the trees just 

 before dusk, end of July and early August. This was identified 

 for me by Mr. A. Sich, who also informed me that the Hawthorn- 

 feeding species is L. atra. 

 Laverna atra. This is evidently the species included in the Yorkshire 

 list as L. hellerella. It occurs freely on Hawthorn and Elm in 

 early part of June, in the garden at Linthorpe. 

 Elachisia kilmunella. Eston Moors, 8/1919 ; Glaisdale, 8/1920. 

 E. nigrella. Cronkley, Teesdale, 5/6/1916. 



*E. megerlella Ingleby Greenhow, 27/7/1918. Two previous record? in 

 Yorkshire list. 



*Cemiostoma spartifoliella. Common about Broom, at Kilton, Lealho'm 

 and Sleights. 



^Cemiostoma wailesella. Taken on and about Genista tinctoria, Saltburn. 



7/4/1914- 

 \Opostega salaciella. Middlesbrough, Acklam. 



Hen Harrier at East Cottingvvith. — I regret to report 

 the death of a female of this species as having occurred at 

 East Cottingwith about February 19th, 192 1. I saw, and 

 identified, this bird in the flesh, previous to its being handed 

 to the Taxidermist. — Sydney H. Smith. 



Scheuzeria palustris L, in Thorne Moors. — I think 

 Mr. Butcher {The Naturalist, March, p. 117) has misunder- 

 stood Rev. Woodruffe-Peacock's notice of the plant. He 

 does not deny its occurrence there, but asks if there are any 

 specimens extant from there. How he quotes me for the 

 non-knowledge I do not understand. There are specimens 

 in Mrs. Robinson's herbarium gathered in 1847, ^^ the Brit. 

 Museum Herbarium, and I possess one gathered by John 

 Bohler in 1850. Fortunately, though nearly extinct in 

 England, it is still in fair abundance in Perth and Argyll, in 

 Scotland.— Arthur Bennett.
