Xylophasia polyodon Z. "About equally light and dark 

 forms at Doncaster " {H.H.C.). 



* Xylophasia zollikoferi Frr. Of this, one of our 



greatest rarities — there being hitherto only two British 

 specimens recorded — Mr. T. Ashton Lofthouse was for- 

 tunate enough to capture a good example at "sugar" 

 at Linthorpe, Middlesbrough, on the night of September 

 26th, 1903. Mr. Lofthouse sent me the specimen for 

 examination (see Nat., Dec. 1903).

 caster [H.H.C.) ; a few at Huddersfield in different 

 years {G.T.P.) ; Rotherham (/. Bloor) ; Skelmanthorpe

* Laphygma exigua Hiid. This grand addition to our list 



was made by Mr, Thomas Fieldhouse, who took no 

 less than eight specimens near Keighley on the night of 

 September 22nd, 1903. Mr. Fieldhouse was searching 

 for Scotosia dubitata with his lamp, when his attention 

 was attracted by a small noctua flying at the light, and 

 eight specimens were secured, which proved to be of 

 this rarity. Mr. Fieldhouse kindly sent me three of 

 them for examination (see Nat., Nov. and Dec. 1903).
