wounded tree. On the same day three specimens were seen by 
Mr. A. W. Partridge, at Ketteringham. These seem to have 
been very tame, rising quietly from the road and settling 
on hazel bushes. On the morning of the 28th, one was seen by 
Mrs. Bridgman to alight on the glass of the conservatory in Mr. 
Bridgman’s garden, in St. Stephen’s, and there it remained for half 
an hour, until a net was obtained and it was captured. Two more 
were seen by Mr. Bridgman in the same garden on subsequent days. 
On this day (28th) three more were taken by the Eev. T. Marsh, and 
one by the Eev. O. Korris, at Cawston, about sugar, two of them 
rather worn ; and on the same afternoon when searching the 
country roads, Mr. F. D. Wheeler and I saw a lovely specimen 
flying along a hedge side in the Plumstead road. It seemed at 
first as though about to alight, but our nets must have looked too 
formidable, for it flew over and disappeared. The next day (29th) 
Mr, Wheeler went over the same neighbourhood, and saw two 
more flying round oak trees beyond Mousehold, but they kept out 
of reach. Two were also seen flying about the avenue at the 
Asylum, Old Palace road ; and three (one of which I have the 
pleasure of exhibiting) were taken, and a fourth seen by 
Mr. Hiclding about some bleeding aspens, near the river at North 
Heigham. Mr. Clare S. Eead records one seen by him on the 
same day, on his farm at Honingham Thorpe, and two more wei'o 
taken by Mr. Marsh at Cawston. 
On the 30th another specimen was taken about the aspens at 
North Heigham by Mr. Amis. 
On September 1st one was seen flying about the trees close to 
the new church in the Old Palace road, and another sunning itself 
on a window in Distillery street ; but neither of them were 
captured. 
On September 2nd, Mr. Partridge, of Sprowston, very kindly 
sent a conveyance to take Mr. Wheeler and me to Ketteringham, 
to the place where he had seen three s^jecimens a week before. 
Almost immediately on our arrival wo saw one flying along a 
hedge. It settled on an oak tree, but declined to be caught, and 
finally disappeared over the woods. We spent four or five hours 
there without further result, a gale of wind havmg arisen and 
made insects scarce. 
Besides the specimens which I liavc enumerated, many others
