Piusia bractea W.V. Yox^ {Stainton^s Manual); Pateley 

 Bridge {R.C., Newman's Entotn., Oct., 1842); possibly 

 these are the York specimens of Stainton's Manual. As 

 this species occurs outside the county at " The Brushes," 

 Staleybridge, I feel sure it ought to be taken oftener in 

 similar localities within our boundary.

 yellow flag {Iris pseud-acortis) in marshy ground.
