took it regularly for many years at Eagwort flowers behind the 

 Ropery, quite a mile away from any trees on which the larvae 

 could have fed. Mr. Gardner gets it abundantly at sugar at 

 Hezleden Dene, where I have also obtained it freely.

 This species probably reaches the northern limit of its range 

 within our counties. Mr. Meyrick states that it does not occur 

 north of York, but it certainly reaches the Tyne valley, though 

 I have no record beyond Kenton, where Miss Eosie met with it. 

 Mr. Henderson and Mr. Maling also took it north of the Tyne 

 at Jesmond, the latter obtaining his specimens at light. South 

 of the Tyne Mr. Hedworth took it sparingly at Dunston and 

 Ax well ; Mr. Morison obtained it at sugar at Chester-le- Street 

 (E. W. I., vol. vii., p. 11) ; and Mr. Backhouse met with it at 

 Darlington. About Hartlepool it is always scarce, and we have 

 only taken it near Hezleden Dene.
