78 PORRITT : YORKSHIRE MACRO-LEPIDOPTERA IN 1879. 



counted on in May, was found in good condition, and not 

 uncommon, on the occasion of the Union's excursion to Edlington 

 Wood on Bank Holiday, August 4th ; and I again saw two worn 

 examples in the same locality so late as September 6th ! All the 

 specimens had undoubtedly passed the winter in the pupa stage, 

 and were not part of a second brood. Hosts of other instances 

 might be given, though — except perhaps in the case of Melanthia 

 albicillata — not so marked as these. 



Again we are unable to add a single species as new to our 

 county. The localities fixed upon for the excursions did not give 

 us much hope of this, as they were to places tolerably well worked 

 before or of similar ground ; and our list of macro-lepidoptera 

 is now so extensive, that only in unworked localities can we 

 reasonably expect many fresh things. Of such spots however 

 there are still plenty, and every season for years to come ought 

 to add one or two species previously unknown to our area of work.
