[What I believe to be the Opius I found in Haliday's Coll. in box 6, carded, & the card labelled beneath in Halidays'writing "Broom" "Nwd" "Sept. 6. The "Nwd" puzzled me for a long time because I thought it must be interpreted "Hwd", Haliday's normal contraction for his native "Holywood", Co. Down. This however, places his visit to Newland burn as 6th Sept, 1837, which is confirmed by his record for Alysia pratellae & A. Lucia (Ent. Mag. vol. V, pp. 235 & 226!) in the following words:- "prope Edinoburgum Septembre ineunte", p.235, & "Habitat, prope Edinoburgum; lecta Septembre ineunte", p.226. The discovery of the above information was not the work of one hour or one day, as there is no indication in the diary that Newland burn was even in Scotland!
