Neivman's " British Buttei-flies''). " Maltby Wood, eighty 

 in one day " ( William Laycock, Ent. W. Intelligencer, 

 1858, /. 133). Taken at Maltby by Mr. A. Doncaster 

 and others. Mr. W. H. Taylor mentions a specimen 

 taken at Bramham Park many years ago. " Formerly 

 abounded in the woods near Stamford Bridge, but has 

 not been seen for some years " {E.B., Entovi. v. p. 392). 

 Said to have occurred frequently in a quarry near Tad- 

 caster, York (i?. C, Newman^ '■'■British BiMerflies" p. 80, 

 and Entoni., 1842). Formerly at Scarborough {E.B., 

 Newman'' s " British Butterfiies") 



Erebia Biandina Fab. This northern species has long been 

 known to occur in plenty at Grassington, in Upper Wharfe- 

 dale, and on the occasion of the Yorkshire Naturalists' 

 Union's visit there, on August 7th, 1882, was found to be 

 as abundant as ever on the grassy slopes in the Grass High 

 Wood ; I took a beautiful series in splendid condition, as 

 also did everyone else who wanted it {G. T.P.) Mr. Henry 

 Denny also reports it from Whernside in Craven {Mag. of 

 Zoology and Botajiy, 1837, i. 491), but there are no recent 

 records of its occurrence there, possibly however because 

 it has not been looked for.
