It was sought in 1829 at Frieston by Dr. Howitt without 
success.* “ Extinct I believe.” Rev. Woodruffe-Peacock , 
in Naturalist, 101, 1895. I have been unable to see, or hear 
of any specimen since 1805. I do not find in the remarks of 
Dr. Lees, | or Woodruffe-Peacock any reason given (if any is 
apparent) why it has become extinct. The Norfolk stations 
must be as old as the Lincoln, yet it there maintains its ground.

Dr. Hind in his FI. Suff., 287, 1889, remarks, “ Our enquiries 
on the subject lead to the conclusion that it has been

Thorpe Ness to Orford.

the reticulata of Linmeus, which was founded on Maltese 
specimens.
