Kot by any means common, but probably to be found wher- 

 ever Broom grows freely. It is in the Twizell list ; Mr. 

 Maling found it near Hexham ; Mr. Henderson got it at 

 Jesmond, and Miss Rosie at Kenton. Mr. Bhagg got it at 

 Bowlands Gill; Mr. Hedworth at Thornley in 1876; Mr. 

 Backhouse took it at Shull among Broom ; Ornsby's "Durham " 

 says, *' About Broom in Houghall Wood and near Bearpark." 

 Mr. Boss took one at Bishop Auckland, where Mr. Greenwell 

 found it in Carr Wood. Mr. Sang got it at lamps at Darlington 

 on iSth September, 1853. We never see it in the Hartlepool 

 district, for there is no Broom.

Larva. Buck., vol. viii., pi. cxlvi., fig. 6. 

 Very common in all parts of the district, and in all the lists. 

 It is not however a species that may be found everywhere, but 

 is locally abundant in meadows, pastures, and similar places, 

 where the food plant occurs. 



This completes the Geometrse, and as in the preceding group, 

 it will be seen that about two-thirds of the British species have 

 been taken in these counties. 



With this we also complete what are generally called the 

 Macro-Lepidoptera, and the first volume of the catalogue.
