the costa instead of being white is olive-green, and indeed 

 the upper wings are marbled all over with this olive-green. 

 Mr. N. F. Dobre'e says that this variety greatly preponder- 

 . ates about Beverley {G.T.F.). 



Acronycta rumicis L. Abundant everywhere. 



The dark variety, salicis Ciui., is very common at 

 Huddersfield, and doubtless throughout the south West 

 Riding. It also occurs at Doncaster ( W. W.) ; Richmond 

 {G.F.H.) ; and Selby (T.F.) ; so is probably as widely dis- 

 tributed as the type. 



Acronycta menyanthidis £sj>. Generally common on heaths 

 and moors, and sometimes in woods containing bilberry 

 and ling, on which the larva feeds.
