YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS IN UPPER TEESDALE. 283'. 



was found in a stream at the Pencil Mill, under Cronkley Scar, at 

 about 1,200 ft. altitude. The other Yorkshire captures were not 

 numerous. The Durham captures included all the four British 

 species of Arion, Helix rupestris, etc. 



For the Entomological Section, which was represented by one of 

 its secretaries, Mr. James H. Rowntree, of Scarborough, Mr. J. 

 Eardley Mason, of Alford (Lines.), Mr. A. Pickard, of Wolsingham 

 (co. Durham) and others, Mr. Rowntree reports the following list of 

 captures : — Lepidoptera : Pieris napi, Vanessa urtiac, Larentia 

 didymata, excessively abundant in some of the streamlet beds, rising 

 in clouds along with L. ccesiata, less commonly, Thera variata, 

 Cidaria russata and C. immanata (one or both species, including 

 some well-marked varieties), on the Durham side ; on the ragwort 

 bloom, Cidaria populata and C. pyraliata, the latter frequent on the 

 Westmorland Fells approaching High Cup Nick, Eubolia me/isuraria, 

 Charaas graminis, Scopula lutealis. An evening's sugaring on the 

 Durham side near to High Force only produced the ubiquitous 

 Xylophasia polyodon. All the above were in the imago state. Of 

 larvse were noted Notodotita ziczac, Acronycta menyanthidis (on 

 willow), and Hadcna pisi. Coleoptera : Carabus nitens (?). Mr. 

 Pickard reported the capture of the following, all upon the South or 

 Yorkshire side of the river : Smerinthus populi, Dicranura vinula, 

 Notodotita dictcea, N. ziczac, Hadena pisi, Acronycta menthanyidis. 



Mr. James Eardley Mason, of Alford, who had spent a few days 

 in the district, and who had paid special attention to the Hemiptera- 

 Heteroptera, reported that he had found the following species on the 

 Yorkshire bank of the Tees. 



Miris holsatus. Anthocoris nemoralis. 



Lygus pabulinus. Salda scotica. 



Lygus contaminatus. Salda c-album. 



/Etorhinus angulatus. Velia currens. 

 Orthotylus nassatus. 



Psallus ambiguus. Orthoptera. 



Plagiognathus viridulus. Forficula auricularia. 

 Anthocoris nemorum. 



None are really rare, but the two Saldce. are by no means common 

 and are curiously distributed, favouring such localities as the Isle of 

 Wight and Cumberland stream-banks impartially. Fine dry weather 

 is so essential to anything like good work in the Hemipterous line, 

 that so brief a list is not to be wondered at under the pluvial circum- 

 stances of the excursion. 



For the Botanical Section, in the absence of its Phanerogamic 

 Secretary, Mr. T. W. Woodhead, of Huddersfield, reported that no 

 section had more right to be grateful than this, at the selection of 



Sept. 1889.
