SCOTTISH DRAGONFLIES 15 



made in a number of likely quarters, the result being a large 

 augmentation of data. 



The records thus obtained are given below, arranged 

 under species, and the county or vice-county (Watsonian 

 scheme) to which they respectively refer. 



My best thanks are due to those friends and corre- 

 spondents who have been good enough to send me specimens 

 or otherwise supply me with records. In doing so they have 

 not merely obliged me, but they have the satisfaction of 

 knowing that they have been instrumental in helping to 

 remove the reproach contained in Mr. Lucas's remark in his 

 paper that our knowledge of the distribution of this 

 interesting order of insects in the northern part of the 

 United Kingdom "is meagre in the extreme." In most 

 cases one or more specimens have been examined by me 

 in support of the record, and in all the name of the collector 

 is given. Of course, in the case of records supplied by 

 experts in the group, such as Mr. Morton and Mr. King, 

 further authentication was unnecessary. For the records 

 from the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh, I have to 

 thank Mr. P. H. Grimshaw, who has also kindly shown me 

 the dragonflies he collected in the Outer Hebrides last 

 summer. As regards the specimens in the Perth Museum I 

 am likewise much indebted to Mr. A. M. Rodger, Curator, 

 for a list of those preserved in that institution, and for 

 granting me every facility for their inspection. 



On hearing from Mr. Rodger in August last that Dr. 

 Buchanan White's dragonflies from Colvend, Kirkcudbright- 

 shire, were still to the fore in the Perth Museum, I at once 

 went there and made a personal examination of them. 

 Specimens of the following ten species are labelled in Dr. 

 White's own writing, " C. 70," which stands for Colvend 

 1870: Sympetruui striolatum, S, scoticum, Libcllula 

 qnadrimaculata, Orthetrum ccerulescens (three, I $ 2 ? ), 

 ^Esc/ma juncea, Calopteryx virgo, Lestes sponsa (ten ; named 

 L. nympha), Pyrrhosoma nympJiula, Ischnura elegans, and 

 Enallagma cyathigerum. There is also along with these an 

 sEschna grandis $, which Mr. Rodger concludes is also a 

 Colvend specimen, though it wants the C. 70 label, since it 

 completes the list contributed by Dr. White in 1873 to
