KAMES. 
In some rambling ' Notes on the Brandesburton Kame, 
Yorkshire/ ( Geological Magazine) , James Phemister tells us 
that ‘ ‘/George ” pennies, 232 years old have been found by 
workmen in the excavations, indicating that the hill was 
probably dug for gravel in the Eighteenth Century/ Mr. 
Phemister ’s knowedge of history equals his knowledge of 
geology. What possible service are the photographs repro- 
duced on the accompanying plate, it is difficult to imagine, 
^except that the blockmaker has benefitted.

FIELD NOTES. 
ENTOMOLOGY. 
Sphinx convolvuli in N. Yorks. — On the 6th inst. I saw 
a rather battered male specimen, which had been caught near 
Snainton (N. Yorks.) the previous day. — W. H. St. Quintin. 
(P.S. — During the week following the 6th, another S. con- 
volvuli was picked up dead in the garden at Headon Lodge, 
Snainton ; while a third specimen was seen at some tobacco 
plants, in broad daylight, but was not taken.) 
Recently, Mr. T. S. Mosley showed me a specimen of 
S. convolvuli which had been taken at Meltham, Huddersfield, 
about the same time as the one recorded by Mr. St. Quintin, 
and brought to the Tolson Memorial Museum. — G.T.P. 
Hemerobius concinnus at Everingham. — Recently Mr. 
H. Maxwell Stuart kindly sent me some specimens of Neurop- 
tera which he had taken during July last, at Everingham, York. 
Among them I was pleased to see four examples of Hemerobius 
concinnus , of which we had previously only two records for 
Yorkshire, both single specimens at Sandburn and Skipwith 
respectively. With them was also a specimen of the closely 
allied Hemerobius quadrifasciatus , but it we knew to be 
widely distributed, though local in the county. From the 
same locality the Rev. Cyril Ash sent me a couple of specimens 
of Chrysopa phyllochroma, which he took there on July 12th 
last ; this we previously only knew in the county from Thorne 
and Skipwith. — Geo. T. Porritt, Dalton, Huddersfield, 
September nth, 1922. 
Diurnal Lepidoptera from Allerthorpe Common. — On 
Allerthorpe Common, East Yorks., on August 14th, I captured 
a male Clouded Yellow Butterfly {Colias croceus Fourc.) in 
1922 Oct. 1
