 A HISTORY OF NORFOLK Surlingharriy Hoveton, Horning, Ran- worth, Cawston, IVormegay ; confined to the fens and marshes, but in them sometimes common Agrophila sulphuralis, Sch. Merton, Didling- ton, Croxton, Thetford, Brandon ; plen- tiful in the * Breck ' district among Convolvulus arvensis, not only in this county, but in Suffolk and Cambridge- shire. Very rare elsewhere in the British Isles Erastria fuscula, Sch. St. Faiths, near Nor- wich, Merton, Foulsham, Foxley ; in woods, usually of fir Bryophila glandifera, Sch. Lord Walsingham has recorded the capture of a single specimen on the Merton estate — perla, Sch. Abundant everywhere on walls Phytometra jenea, Sch. Merton, Holt Heath, Cawston, IVootton, Lynn, Horsford ; not very common Anarta myrtilli, Linn. Generally distributed on heaths Sarrothripa revayana, Sch. Merton, Croxton, Felbrigge, Horsford, Cawston, Lynn ; in woods, scarce Gonoptera libatrix, Linn. Generally com- mon Ophiodes lunaris, Sch. A single specimen of this, one of the rarest of British species, was captured at Might' at Strat- ton Strawless, in 1878, by Dr. F. D. Wheeler Catocala fraxini, Linn. Lord Walsingham has recorded the capture of a specimen of this noble species at Holkham ; and the Rev. T. H. Marsh of another at Cawston. Dr. Paget noted the occur- rence of an example at Yarmouth, and another has been taken at Hunstanton. The capture by Dr. E. W. Carlier of a fine specimen near Norwich, in 1 894, was rendered less satisfactory by the discovery that two specimens reared that season in Norwich from foreign larvae had accidentally escaped — nupta, Linn. Generally distributed wherever willows abound — promissa, Sch. Foxley, Foulsham, and once at Hethersett ; an exceedingly local species Euclidia mi, Linn. Widely distributed in meadows, but not common — glyphica, Linn, jlldeby, Merton, Caws- ton, Heydon, Horning, Neatishead ; not common Aventia flexula. Fab.

Haw. Aldeby, Mer- ton, Ranworth ; usually in fens — cortaestrigalis, Steph. Merton, Cawston, Horning, Ranworth ; scarce ; more fre- quent on the boggy heaths near Lynn Schrankia turfosalis, Wock.

Merton, Havering- land, Cawston, Horning ; very local Cabera pusaria, Linn. Mr. Atmore has suc- ceeded in uniting this species with its variety rotundaria by rearing both Bapta temerata, Sch. Norwich, Ketteringham, Merton, Yarmouth, Neatishead, Cawston, Lynn ; not very common — taminata, Sch. Norwich, Merton, Thet- ford, Cawston, Sheringham, Lynn ; most frequent in West Norfolk, and in cer- tain seasons abundant Macaria liturata, Linn.
