Illustrations (vol. iv., p. 69) ; Mr. Finlay found it on the moors 

 generally. I have taken it myself on Greenleighton Moor, and 

 the Rev. B. Harvey -Jellie took it at Shaften Moor in 1902. 

 Mr. Maling recorded it in the Transactions for 1875 (p. 281). 

 It is recorded for Darlington in a report of the Entomological 

 Society as taken on 3rd September, 1890. This is a very late 

 date, and the record must surely refer to some of the western 

 moors, Darlington itself being a most unlikely place. Sang 

 took the species at Eggleston in June, 1879, but Eggleston 

 is in Upper Teesdale.

A common insect in woods, sometimes much too common, the 

 larvaB becoming quite destructive in their ravages. I have seen 

 the oaks in Hezleden Dene entirely stripped of their leaves by 

 their ravages. It is recorded in the Twizell list; Mr. Finlay 

 found it veiy general in the Morpeth district, Mr. Maling (with- 

 out specified locality) recorded it in the Transactions for 1875 

 (p. 281), Mr. Henderson found it at Jesmond, and Mr. Wailes 

 recorded it nearly seventy years ago from Gibside (see Step. 

 Illus,, vol. iv., p. 69). Mr. Pattison got it at Chopwell in the 

 same district, and it appears in every little wood in the county 

 where oak grows, as noted years ago by Mr. Backhouse.

A common insect in the south of England according to 

 Stainton, and I think it ought to be common here also, but I 

 have no records for JSTorthumberland at all, and only for the 

 southern portion of Durham. It is scarce in Hezleden Dene, 

 Mr. Gardner has bred it from larvae found at Barnard Castle, 

 and Mr. Sang took it long ago at Harewood Grove, near
