North, when down here it is fully out in the middle of September ! 

 However, as his first specimen occurred in the end of August, and I 

 believe that Mr. A. P. Griffith took both his examples in that month, 

 it seems probable that the species is out over a considerable time. 



T. pallidella is, in this country, clearly attached to Genista tinctoria, 

 and I shall do my utmost next season to discover the larva on that 

 plant, and to work out its life-history. Sorhagen simply mentions 

 "Genista" as its food-plant, and we learn from Mr. Stainton's note 

 above alluded to that it has occurred on the Continent amongst Genista 

 sagittalis and G. germanica. 



In conclusiou,I may mention that I had, last August, the pleasure 

 of taking, near here, half a dozen specimens of T. immundella amongst 

 broom, which is a very scarce plant in Purbeck. No species of the 

 genus Trifurcula had, up till that time, been met with in the county 

 of Dorset.

REMARKS ON MR. JAS. EDWARDS' LIST OF NORFOLK 



SEMIPTERA. 



BY EDWAED SAITNDEKS, F.L.S. 



Mr. Pdwards has recently sent me his list of the Jlemiptera of 

 Norfolk, published in the Transactions of the Norfolk and Norwich 

 Naturalist's Society, vol. iii, 1884, and his Supplement to it, published 

 in the same Society's transactions of this year. Such local lists are 

 always interesting, but this one especially so, as it is drawn up by a 

 well-known specialist in this Order, and records the result of ten years 

 of his work, assisted by Mr. Thouless and others, so that there is little 

 doubt that the subject has been thoroughly investigated, and that the 

 list is a fair record of the Jlemiptera Pauna of Norfolk. This being 

 so, it seems to me interesting to examine the contents of the list and 

 try to point out some of the peculiarities of the relations between 

 Norfolk and its Bugs. 



In the Heteroptera, Norfolk can apparently boast of three species 

 unrecorded from any other county, viz., Lygus atomarius, Meyer, 

 Clilamytlatus flaveolus, Eeut., Stalia loops, Schiodte, all of which have 

 been introduced by Mr. Edwards himself, and the following which are 

 amongst the rarest of our species : — Batliysolen nubilus, Pall., " one
