CATALOGUE OF BTTTTEEFLIES. 29 



It is recorded in 1769 by the E.ev. Mr. Wallis. It is in the 

 Twizell list, in that in Ornsby's Durham, and in Mr. Back- 

 house's manuscript list. These records practically cover both 

 counties. A hundred years after the first record it had almost 

 disappeared. I never saw one alive after 1861, but Mr. Maling 

 saw two or three at Beadnell in 1870, and a solitary specimen 

 the next season (1871). Mr. Henderson saw it at Jesmond in 

 1870, and Dr. Y. A. Lees found it in Upper Teesdale so late as 

 1875, since which date no specimen has occurred in either 

 county, so far as I know.
