PORRITT : YORKSHIRE MACRO-LEPIDOPTERA IN 1880. 91 



scotica. I am douLtful if the ordinary type (cembi-ce) occurs in 

 Huddersfield district at all, and should be pleased to see specimens 

 from other parts of the county with a view of ascertaining what its 

 range with us really is. In conclusion, I would ask the members 

 of our section to make careful observations and notes in case of 

 any persistent local variations they may come across. The study 

 is a much more useful one, and surely as interesting, as the breeding 

 of odd extraordinary varieties, whose chief value to their possessors 

 depends entirely on neither themselves nor anyone else being able 

 to capture or breed similar ones. 



THE YORKSHIRE LIST. 



We had hoped to have had this out by this time, but had 

 miscalculated the time it would take to get in all the district-lists 

 and records, which have been constantly accumulating, and in the 

 end the delay will undoubtedly have been an equal gain to the 

 list and consequently to the members of our Union. 



Highroyd House, Huddersfield, April, 1881.
