BIRDS. 



Goldfinch at Tanfield. — On Saturday last I saw two hen 

 Goldfinches feeding on a thistle plant at Tanfield Station. 

 I have not seen any of these birds in this district for the last 

 year or two. — R. T. Summerfield. Ripon, 22nd Nov. 1904. 



LEPIDOPTBRA, 



Hadena protea at Newsome.— I captured a specimen of 

 this rather scarce Yorkshire moth at rest in our garden at 

 Newsome on the 4th August 1903. My capture remained 

 unnamed until recently, when identification was established for 

 me by Mr. S. L. Mosley, F.E.S.— W. E. L. Wattam, Hud- 

 dersfield. 







ORTHOPTERA. 



Panchlora exoleta Klug. in Yorkshire. — Referring to 

 Mr. Porritt's note ('The Naturalist,' 1904, p. 347), a specimen 

 was taken in Bradford a few weeks ago and kindly given me by 

 Mr. Jowett, and another was sent to me alive for identification 

 by Mr. G. W. Brown, of Bradford, who gave me the specimen, 

 which is a fine and perfect one. It was picked up in Leeds on 

 the 9th inst.— J. W. Carter, Bradford, 19th December 1904.
