appear to be Crimdon Cut, where Mr. Gardner has met with it, 

 and Teesdale, where it has been taken freely by Messrs. 

 Gardner and B. A. Bower. In Ent. Mo. Mag., ser. 2, ix., pp. 196-8 

 (1898) Mr. Bankes proved that conjinis, which was described 

 by Stainton as a new species in Ent. Ann. 1871, pp. 98-9, and 

 erroneously sunk by Meyrick in Hdbk. Brit. Lep. 589 (1895) as 

 a variety of Gelechia affinis, is in reality a dark northern form 

 of similis, Sta., and he tells me that his Teesdale examples in- 

 clude var. co7i/i}iis as well as the typical form. The larva feeds 

 on moss growing on old walls, roofs, etc.

Given in the "Manual" as occurring at Darlington Mr. 

 Sang took it there in 1872 on the embankment of the North- 

 Eastern Railway. I have no other record.

Another new species, discovered by Mr. Sang at Greatham. 

 Owing to Mr. Sang announcing that he had taken it "down 

 Eedcar way," this is given in the supplement to Porritt's list of 

 Torkshire Lepidoptera as having been taken there. This was 

 not so, and the entries are quite clear in Sang's diary "July 21. 

 1881. 1," " July 23. 1881. ^." It is a salt marsh insect, the 

 larva feeding, as discovered by Mr. Bankes, in Glanx maritima 

 (see Ent. Mo. Mag., ser. 2, viii., pp. 5-7), and could only have 

 occurred at Eedcar by accident, as did Adactyla hennetii, q. v. 

 This species is extremely local, and has only been found else- 

 where in one locality in Dorset and one in Norfolk.
