16 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



M'Diarmid's " Handbook of Colvend and Southwick." On 

 the pin beneath it is a label bearing the name grandis 

 apparently in the late R. M'Lachlan's writing. But quite 

 apart from this specimen there are, I think, good grounds for 

 admitting the record. 1 The ten specimens over the name 

 Lestes nympha are clearly all referable to L. sponsa 

 (Hansemann), and not to L. dryas, Kirby, so that the doubt 

 previously attaching to this record is now removed, and with 

 it the only claim of the latter insect to a place on the 

 Scottish list. 2 The substantiation of Dr. White's record of 

 Orthetrum c&rulescens is especially gratifying. 3 



Mr. King's records of Agrion pulchellum, here published 

 for the first time, are particularly interesting as affording 

 confirmation of De Selys's statement that he had observed 

 this species in Scotland in 1845. 



LEUCORRHINIA DUBIA (Lind.}. Mid Perth: Tyndrum, 1895, ? 

 (T. M. M'Gregor; in Perth Museum). East Ross : Kindace 

 Moor, 26th June 1908, ^ and $ (sent to me by Miss A. C. 

 Jackson, Swordale). 



SYMPETRUM STRIOLATUM (Charp.). Westerness, i.e. West Inverness : 

 Invermoidart, 1900, $ (received from S. M. Macvicar). Main 

 Argyll: Oban District, July 1874 (W. E.) ; Loch Aline, 

 Morven, July 1895, $ (from C. Campbell). Mid Ebudes : 

 Glen Aros, Mull, 6th August 1906, <$ and J (from J. W. 

 Bowhill). West Xoss : Kinlochewe (J. J. F. X. King). 



S. SCOTICUM (Don.}.* Kirkcudbright: Kirkcudbright (King). 

 Berwick: near Ayton, September 1895, $ (W. E.) ; Moor near 

 Earlston (W. Pringle). 5 Stirling: two from the western 

 section of the county (from D. Gourlay). Mid Perth : Aulich, 

 Rannoch, August 1881 (W. E.) ; near Ballinluig, 1895 and 



1 De Selys states ('Ann. Mag. N.H. ,' 1846) that he saw ^. grandis from 

 Scotland in Dr. Greville's collection. 



2 I have been enabled to submit one of the specimens to Mr. Morton and he 

 also identifies it as L. sponsa. For remarks on Buchanan White's Colvend list, 

 cf. Morton, 'E.M.M.,' 1900, p. 108. 



3 Besides the Colvend specimens there are examples of the following species 

 in Dr. White's collection, labelled " F. 69," i.e. Glen Farrar (Strathglass, 

 Inverness-shire), 1869: Libellula quadriinaculata, Somatochlora mefallica, 

 Lestes sponsa (named nympha], and Pyrrhosoma nyinphula. 



4 Mr. K. J. Morton has drawn my attention to Dr. Ris's adoption of S. 

 danae (Sulz. ) as a prior name for this species (see " Die Susswasserfauna Deutsch- 

 lands," Heft 9, ' Odonata,' 1909. 



6 This record may belong to Roxburgh, the county boundary passing near 

 Earlston.
