only in the following counties ; namely, Sussex (Mr. Bor- 

 rer), Gloucester (Mr. Buckraan), Stafford (Dr. Garner), 

 Notts (Flo. Nott.), York (Mr. J. Ward), Durham (Mr. R. 

 B. Bowman), Northumberland (Dr. Richardson, &c.), Ber- 

 wick (Flo. Berw.), Forfar (Dr. G. Macnab, &c.), Moray 

 (Mr. Stables, &c.), Shetland (Flo. Shet.). Looking to 

 this dispersed distribution in an area extending from the 

 south coast to Shetland, the probability of the species oc- 

 curring in many other counties seems to warrant and even 

 to require a much higher estimated census, both for pro- 

 vinces and counties, than the actual number ascertained.

 stated to occur in Bucks, Herts, Suffolk, Bedford, Hunting- 

 don, Worcester (Midi. Flo.), Salop (Midi. Flo.), and York

 16, but within 30, miles from Poole.
