Insects, 5211 



to Britain since then, and some of them new to science, I have confined myself to 

 the work done by the Lancashire collectors, if I had taken the Yorkshire entomologists 

 in (rather a difficult job that), I might have added such things as Opigena Fennica, 

 n. s., Gastropacha Ilicifolia (reputed British), and Agrophila Sulphurea; the last found 

 by Mr. Dunning, &c. I have purposely omitted my own captures, except where 

 friends have also taken the species.

 Meliteea Athalia. Found from a hint given by a dealer, over his cups.
