BIBLIOGRAPHY OF 1 884 : LEPIDOPTERA.

Chester, at an old rotten tree — it is thought alder — 'growing not far from 

 the path on the Manchester side of Kersal Moor.' It never occurred there 

 either before or since. Cribb gave a specimen to R. Wood to send to Curtis, 

 who named it after the latter, much to Cribb's disgust and annoyance. Of 

 the 50 or 60 specimens which Cribb took there is one in Curtis's collection 

 (now in Australia) and two in the Owens College Museum at Manchester. 

 All the rest were destroyed at a public-house where Cribb had left them as 

 security for his score. No others are in existence.

Speaking of the development of local forms or races from what are called 

 ' aberrations,' reference is made to the fact that some thirty years ago this form 

 was almost unknown in the Manchester district, where it now occurs in 

 numbers.

At p. 194 Mr. Weir writes that he is not ' aware whether in the more 

 - northern districts in which the insect [Z. argiolus'] is found, e.g., Cumberland, 

 Westmoreland, and Yorkshire, it differs in any respect from those found in 

 the most southern counties, nor whether in the former districts it is one- 

 brooded, a point I should be very glad to know.'
