This large Footman is but a rare visitor to our district. The 

 earliest notice I have of its occurence is that Mr. Gr. ]J^owell took 

 a male "near Swalwell Station in 1872, now in the possession 

 of Mr. Johnston of Gateshead." T. H. Hedworth. In June, 

 1874, Mr. Maling took a second in Sandyford Lane, Newcastle. 

 The following year (1875) Mr. Eales took one on the Shields 

 Ballast Hills (Entom. viii., 196), and Mr. Wasserman another 

 at Summergill (Nat. Hist. Trans., v., 286). The same year I 

 was fortunate enough to take five males and a female on posts 

 and rails near Hartlepool, Mr. Taylor took another, and Mr. 

 Gardner got one at sugar. There must have been a partial 

 migration into this part of the country about that period ; Mr. 

 George Brook of Huddersfield took one at Eedcar at the same 

 time, Eedcar being on the Yorkshire side of Hartlepool Bay. 

 About this time also a specimen was picked up in Sunderland 

 streets, but my informant, Mr. J. W. Corder, is not certain of 

 the date. Since then I have not heard of its occurrence.
