242 MISCELLANEOUS NOTES, 
and a keeper informed me, with grief, I am glad to say, that this 
spring, between the time of their coming and the springing of the 
traps for the season, one trap alone had accounted for nearly twenty 
Ring-Ouzels, some Wheatears, Cuckoos, and even an odd Grouse 
itself.

v ern: an interesting Additi the York- 
a.—During present month of July, I captured on the bog 
at Askern a considerable number of a small Eupecilia. "They appeared to me to 
be £. vectisana, but as, so far knew of that species, it was con salt- 
marshes near t t, I thought that probably my specimens hing 
se n sending them t E kes he fully confirmed a 
1 opinion that the species was ‘unquestionably vectisana.’ The 
ori: 
interest of this addition to the county fauna lies in the fact that vecfzsana is seer 
a 
inland locality where it had previously been taken is Wicken Fen, Combe 
shire. Inall probability the larvz at Askern feed on 7riglochin palustre, this p 
being abundant on the bog. T as a very short period of flight, & 
appearing at about 5.30 p.m. and disappearing as suddenly at about 6 p.m.
