is a mystery to me." He also states, '' One female, 0. christyi, 

 on a telegraph pole at Birtley."

Larentia olivnria. 



The statement that " we never get it ai'ound Hartlepool " is 

 incorrect. I took a few specimens every season when living at 

 Middlethorpe, flitting about the hedges on the borders of 

 Hezleden Dene, and no doubt, had I specially desired, could 

 have taken more. I can see no reason why it should not occur 

 near the sea, as various species of galium (upon which the larva 

 feeds) are common enough everywhere in the district.

Emmelesia unifasciata. 



Mr. Harrison gives two more localities for this species, one 

 for each county, viz., "Birtley a few specimens, larvae, 1911." 

 " Have seen one from Killingworth."

Enpithecia pygmaata. 



Mr. T. A. Lofthouse informs me that he took two specimens 

 of pygmceata on Cowpen Marshes near Greatham about the 

 middle of June this year (1912).

Eupithecia innotata. 



Mr. Harrison writes of this species in the December number 

 of the Entomologist, p. 412, "I obtained a few larva3 last year 

 in Durham from scabious and rose, that I took to be E. 

 fraxinata. However, when the insects emerged this year they 

 proved to be E innotata. My friend Mr. Johnson, of Gates- 

 head, deserves the credit for detecting these larvae on scabious, 

 for he took a fair number in 1909, from which no moths were 

 reared the following year. These food plants seem unusual, 

 but the larvse from ova laid by bred females fed readily on a 

 potted plant of Artemisia absinthium which I had ready for
