Acherontia atropos at Bradford.—The capture of two 
specimens of A. atropos, in August, has been reported to me. 
Both were taken at Shipley, one of which is recorded by Mr. 
Hainsworth, the other was brought to Mr. F. Rhodes at the 
Cartwright Hall by Mr. Pitts.—J. W. Carter, Bradford, 
November 21st, 1906. 
Leucophza surinamensis, Linn., etc., at Bradford.—A 
few months ago a specimen of a Cockroach, which had been 
taken in the Bradford market, was given to me, and was put on 
one side for turther examination. 
A few days ago I determined it to be Leucophea surinamensts, 
Linn., and sent the specimen to Mr. Porritt, who kindly confirms 
my determination, and states it is the first recorded example for 
Yorkshire. 
Since my list of Cockroaches for this district was published 
(‘Nat.’ Jan., 1897, p. 26), four species have been added, viz., 
Per:planeta australasie, Fabr.; Panchlora exoleta, Klug., 
which is frequently taken in the market; Rhyparobia madere, 
Fab. ; and Leucophea surinamensts, Linn., not a bad list of 
these generally detested insects.—J. W. Carrer, Bradford, 
November 17th, 1906.

MOLLUSCA. 
Succinea oblonga Drap. in Westmorland.—In August 
last, whilst staying at Grange-over-Sands, I spent some time 
in collecting Mollusca in the surrounding district, and at 
Meathop, not far from Grange, I obtained a number of 
Succinee, which I have submitted to Mr. Charles Oldham 
and others, who pronounce them to be, what I had myself 
suspected, Swccinea oblonga Drap. The shells approach the 
form now generally recognised as var. avenarta Bouchard, and 
agree closely with specimens from Brunton Burrows, Devon, 
and from Irish localities. This find constitutes an important 
record for the county.—H. Breston, Havant.
