This also is one of the rarer of the occasional visitors to 

 Britain, and it has but seldom been met with in our district. A 

 specimen was taken by the late E. Backhouse, Jun., in his 

 garden at Sunniside, Sunderland, many years ago (see Stephens' 

 Illust. Haust., vol. i., p. 129). A second specimen was brought 

 to me in 1878 by some boys who had caught it on the Town 

 Moor, Hartlepool. It was slightly injured by their fingers, but 

 was otherwise in fair condition. A third was obtained this year 

 (1896) by Mr. Lumsden, also at Hartlepool. I have no other 

 records from either county.

This is another rare visitor to our shores, but rather more 

 frequent than the last, both in these counties and the country 

 generally. Mr. "Wailes records four specimens: ''One many 

 years ago in the late Mr. Crighton's house in ^Northumberland 

 Square, !N^orth Shields. One at Darlington in a room. Mr. Sang. 

 In a room in Gallowgate, Newcastle, in 1846. Mr. John Han- 

 cock. One at rest between the folds of a dish-cloth, hung up 

 to dry outside a house in Bishopwearmouth. E. Backhouse, 

 Jun., Esq." 



The species is marked ''Da" (Darlington) in Stainton's
