insect should be looked for, and I expect its discovery will be 

 the reward. It has been found at Scarborough, and might 

 therefore turn up at some of our coast localities. It is not 

 scarce in Cumberland in many places, and will doubtless be 

 found in the west of both our counties.

This is given in the ''Manual" as occurring regularly at 

 Darlington, but 1 do not know the authority. I have found no 

 Durham record of it in Sang's diary, but several for Richmond 

 in Yorkshire, which might come within the '* Darlington

 " Marsh " pug is incomprehensible.

Eather a common species, and generally well distributed. 



It is certain to be found in most or all suitable localities. Mr. 



Finlay met with it in Meldon Park, and found it freely also on 



the moors ; Mr. Patterson took it near ]^ewcastle-on-Tyne. 



The " Manual" records it for Castle Eden Dene, and we find it 



fairly common along the coast from Black Hall E-ocks. Mr. 



Gardner has also met with it in Teesdale. I have taken it on 



the wing at the foot of Hezleden Dene flying in the morning
