TORTRIX SEMIALBANA AT DONCASTER: 
A Lepidopteron new to the County. 
L. S. BRADY, 
Sheffield. 
On Augnst 4th, whilst collecting in one of the large woods in 
the Doncaster neighbourhood, I beat out of a hedge, along 
with other Tortricina, a fine specimen of Zortrix semialbana. 
Barrett writes as follows of this species :—‘It was to be found 
near Darenth, Greenhythe, and Dartford in Kent, and Mickleham 
in Surrey before 1860, but then became scarce, the latest 
capture I know in these localities being in 1873. Twenty 
years later it was discovered at Folkestone, and still occurs 
there.’ I believe there has been no additional locality recorded 
since, so that its occurrence so far north as Yorkshire is in- 
teresting and unexpected. 
[This is a very gratifying record, because, as Mr. Brady 
says, the species was totally unexpected to occur so far north. 
Mr. Brady sent me the moth for examination, and it is a very 
fine and well-marked specimen.—G. T. P.|.

In this volume our Cleveland friends have gathered together 
much usefulinformation. Whilst by far the greater proportion of 
it had been previously printed elsewhere, it is none the less 
welcome in the present form, and as apparently the society has 
funds at its disposal for the purpose, we must not grumble. By 
far the largest article is devoted to a series of useful notes, on 
all manner of subjects, contributed by the late Rev. J. Hawell to 
his Parish Magazine. These, perhaps, were not generally 
accessible in their original form. From ‘Country Life’ Mr. 
Nelson’s paper on ‘ The Ruff in the North of England ’ [Durham] 
is reprinted ‘by the permission of the Editor’; a lengthy paper on 
‘The River Tees: its Marshes and their Fauna’ by the late R. 
Lofthouse is reprinted from this journal for 1887, without 
obtaining or asking for permission. Mr. T. A. Lofthouse gives 
an account of ‘Cleveland Lepidoptera in 1905,’ and Mr. M. L. 
Thompson writes a ‘Report on the Coleoptera observed in 
Cleveland’ in 1905. The publication is cheap at two shillings. 
There is a fair sprinkling of misprints, the assistant secretary’s 
name is spelt wrongly more than once, and we don’t like the 
word ‘ Mammalogy.’
