ZOOLOGICAL NOTES 185 



Dunipace, Stirlingshire. Specimens have been submitted to Mr. J. 

 W. Taylor, who tells me the 6 1 . lacustre is var. ryckholti. Both are 

 additions to the " Census " lists of Mollusca for the two counties. 

 Half a dozen slugs from Mr. R. C. Haldane's garden at Lochend, 

 Lerwick, Shetland, in May, have been forwarded to me by Mr. 

 Harvie-Brown. Three of them are dark examples of Limax mdxzmus, 

 var. fasciatus, and the rest Arion ater. L., maximus is not in the 

 authenticated " Census " list for Shetland, but it was recorded from 

 there by Jeffreys many years ago. WILLIAM EVANS, Edinburgh. 



Cherries panzeri (C. L. KocJi) in Forth. When looking for 

 pigeon ticks in Mr. Harvie-Brovvn's dovecot at Dunipace, East 

 Stirlingshire, on 25th May 1911, I was pleased to find this False- 

 Scorpion in considerable numbers. They were among the dirt and 

 refuse at the bottom of the pigeons' nests. Mr. \Vallis Kew, to 

 whom specimens have been submitted, confirms my identification. 

 Chernes panzeri is an addition to my list of the " False-Scorpions of 

 the Forth Area," published about two years ago ("Proc. Roy. Phys. 

 Soc." xvii. 40). In Mr. Godfrey's account of the " False-Scorpions 

 of Scotland" ("Annals," 1908, p. 157) it is only recorded from the 

 counties of Lanark, Peebles, and Ross one locality in each.

Northern Records of Diptera. The following captures may be 

 of interest to Dipterists, since little is known of the distribution of flies 

 in the northern counties of Scotland, Cephenomyia auribarbis, Mg., 

 one ct with red beard, red tail, pubescence on abdomen reddish, and 

 thorax distinctly divided like Hypoderma bovis Loch Assynt ; Hypo- 

 derma diana, Brauer, one $ , Loch Assynt ; Physocephala nigra, Deg., 

 two , Loch Assynt a far north locality, though I took a single ^ 

 at Rannoch high up on the Erebia cassiope ground ; Gymnochceta 

 viridis, Fin., one $ , Loch Assynt another far northern locality : 

 Ptiolina atra, Staeg., one $ , Loch Assynt ; Porpliyrops gravipes, 

 Wek., one $ , Dingwall. J. W. YERBURY. 



BOTANICAL NOTES AND NEWS. 



Pyrola uniflora, Z., in the Outer Hebrides. Dr. Williams, in 

 the 8th part of his Prodromus FL Brit. (1911), p. 474, records 

 that " 2 specimens are in Smith's Herbarium, gathered about 1783 

 by Mr. James Hoggan in the island of Bernera." This is in the 

 Sound of Harris, between Lewis and N. Uist. " One specimen is 

 8 cm., the other 10 cm., each having 5 leaves." This he records 

 as its most northerly station ; but it is found in E. Sutherland, 

 farther north ; in " Little Ferry Wood in Golspie," Mr. Doull, sp., 

 and Balbin Pine Wood, with Linnaea, Dr. Joass, sp.
