subsequently took it himself on the railway at Darlington on 

 July 24th, 1864. When I ceased to collect at random, I ceased 

 to take Unifasciata, and have not met with it again. Mr. 

 Gardner and other Hartlepool collectors got it in the same 

 place, but no one takes it now, and I have no other records. 

 It is not recorded for Yorkshire.

Mr. Eolam is the only collector who has met with this pretty 

 little rivulet. He took it in the valley at Langleyford, amongst 

 the Cheviots. The larva feeds on Eyebright, and it might 

 occur on heaths in the west of either county. It should be 

 looked for in June.

I took a single specimen of this rare insect on the railway 

 side behind the ropery on 1st June, 1874. The larva feeds on 

 Euphrasia officinalis (Eyebright), which is very plentiful a mile 

 or two from where I captured the insect. This little sheltered 

 nook close to the town has produced a considerable number of 

 rare species, generally only single stray specimens like the 

 present. This species is best known in Scotland, but it occurs 

 regularly in the Lake district, and in a few other places.
