ON SOME AMBICOLOURED FLAT-FISH FROM THE CLYDE 79 



left. Mr. J. Thorburn tells me about one in fifteen are left- 

 handed. 



Locally the Flounder is called a " Mole," and Plaice called 

 Flounder. 



TURBOT (Bothus maximus, L.). In May 1908 Mr. T. Thorburn 

 caught and presented to Rothesay Museum an ambicoloured 

 Turbot, i Si ins. long, of which there are three casts exhibited. 

 The head is 3! in the length (normal 3^). There is a deep 

 notch over the eyes, which are above each other (cf. J. Ritchie, 

 "A.S.N.H." No. 67, p. 146); the free end of the dorsal fin 

 reaches to about half-way between the eyes and the anterior 

 extremity. The right eye is practically on the top of the head. 

 The long tubercles are present on both sides of the body. 



I am indebted to the courtesy of Mr. Herd for the 

 privilege of examining these casts, the originals of which 

 have unfortunately not been kept. Since writing the above 

 notes I have met with several cases of partial ambicolora- 

 tion in Plaice and Dabs. 



A LIST OF SPIDERS COLLECTED AT FORRES 

 ("MORAY") IN AUGUST 1910. 



By the Rev. J. E. HULL, M.A. 



\_Note by W. EVANS. The following list of Spiders from the 

 neighbourhood of Forres has been sent to me by the Rev. 

 J. E. Hull, Ninebanks Vicarage, Northumberland, to use as 

 I please. There are none too many records of Spiders 

 from Scotland, and I think the list ought certainly to be 

 published in full in our " Annals of Scottish Natural History." 

 The pages of the magazine already contain several lists of 

 Spiders from various parts of Scotland, including one in the 

 volume for 1 894 based on a collection made by me in 

 the Aviemore district of " Moray." Six of the species 

 recorded by Mr. Hull from Forres are, so far as I am aware, 

 new to the Scottish list (they are marked by an asterisk), 

 while a number of others have not previously been reported 

 from the North of Scotland.]
