104 MR - J- EDWARDS OX BAGOUS LUTOSUS, GYLL., IN NORFOLK. 
Islands, vol. iv. p. 237) records one specimen 
taken by Mr. Champion at Aviemore, Moray 
District, Scotland. Perhaps Mr. Morley 
satisfied himself that this specimen no longer 
exists, or that Champion’s determination of 
the species was erroneous ! 
Thyamis rutilus. There can be no objection to Mr. Morley 
suspecting the Norfolk specimens to be the red 
form of T. jacobece ; but when he says that 
“ T. rutilus is confined to the south coast of

He never saw, nor did he, so far as I know,

record was based ; yet he does not hesitate to 
say ' that it is wrongly determined ! Some 
time since I wrote to Mr. Morley asking him 
to be good enough to say to what species my 
record did refer ; at the same time drawing his 
attention to the fact that his prescience had 
already enabled him to say that the record 
referred to some species other than that which
