 The only I^orthuniberland record for this species is that Miss 

 Rossie met with it at Kenton ; Mr. Eales took several at sugar 

 at South Shields, and also found specimens hiding behind window 

 shutters; Mr. Brady took it at Sunderland in September, 1891 ; 

 Mr. Sang met with it at Castle Eden in August, 1855. At 

 Hartlepool a specimen or two comes to sugar nearly every 

 autumn, but it is never numerous. I once took a specimen 

 with a distinct purple tinge. Mr. Sang met with it also at 

 Seaton, and Darlington is given as a locality in the Manual, but 

 this probably referred to the Seaton or Castle Eden captures. 

 Mr. Lofthouse has also taken it at Grreatham.

 **I found this Moth flying in the sunshine in considerable 

 numbers, at Kyloe Craggs, on 1st August, 1895, attracted to 

 the flowers of the Wood Sage, along with another good species, 

 Plusia interrogationis^'*^ Gr. Bolam, Trans. Ber. E. Club, vol. xv., 

 p. 305). I have no knowledge of its occurrence elsewhere.
