THIS fly is not uncommon near Sarum, Wiltshire; also in
Sywell Wood, near Northampton. I have taken it in Devonshire,
at Pinhay Cliff, near Lyme Regis. It is also found in Coombe
Wood and Darenth Wood, Kent; at Wood Hay Common,
Hampshire; on Coleshill Heath, Warwickshire; Parley Heath,
Dorsetshire; Holt, Norfolk; and Ripley Green, Surrey; as
in various other localities in the south of England.

you are glad to lie doAvn on some grassy bank and gaze upon
the floAvers or the insects A\diich surround you, listening the

gentle rippling of the tide over the pebbled beach, every sight
and every sound full of present and inexpressible enjoyment,
