and where it is sometimes common. I have also found it in 

 St. Andrews Bay, in the estuary of the Tay below Dundee, and also 

 taken it in the Humber to the east of Grimsby. Mr. G. C. Bourne 

 has recorded it from Falmouth. The specimens now recorded were 

 obtained in the Cromarty Firth, between Invergordon and Cromarty, 

 on iyth January, and again on 5th February, of the present year; 

 and it was also captured off the Nairnshire coast on yth February. 

 There is, so far as I know, no previous record of Macropsis from 

 the Moray Firth. T. SCOTT, Aberdeen. 



Scottish Myriapoda. In the course of the last three or four 

 years I have on many occasions observed the little white Myriapod 

 Scolopcndrella immaculata, Newp., under stones in this district. The 

 following are a few of the localities and dates, namely : Arthur's 

 Seat, February 1896 and October 1899 ; Charlestown, Fife, February 

 1896; Dreghorn, March 1896; and near Rosslyn, March 1899. 

 It does not seem to be mentioned in Sir T. D. Gibson-Carmichael's 

 list of Scottish Myriapoda published in the " Proceedings of the 

 Royal Physical Society" for 1882 (vol. vii. p. 193). I have also 

 specimens of the following species from this neighbourhood : 



Linotiznia crassipes, Koch. An example of this luminous centi- 

 pede was captured in Dalmeny Park, Linlithgowshive, in October 

 1895, by Mr. Charles Campbell, and kindly given to me. Mr. 

 Campbell states that he got another in the same locality about 

 10 P.M. on 24th January of the present year. Mr. R. I. Pocock, of 

 the British Museum, writes me that this is probably the Scolioplanes 

 acuminatits of the list above referred to. 



Craspedosoma rawlinsii, Leach. Two examples of this species, 

 first described by Dr. Leach from the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, 

 were found by me near The Bush, a few miles south of Edinburgh, 

 on 23rd October 1893. 



An exotic Paradesnms but whether P. gracilis, Koch, or P. 

 coarcfatus, Sauss., is uncertain, as the specimen is an immature $ - 

 was obtained in a greenhouse at Morningside in December 1898. 



My best thanks are due to Mr. Pocock for having named these 

 and some other Myriapods for me. WILLIAM EVANS, Edinburgh.

What is the Blue Lupine naturalised in Scotland? For a 



number of years a showy lupine has been known to botanists, both 

 residents and visitors, as well established on the Dee, the Beauly, 

 and the Tay ; and it was thought to be Lupinus perennis, L., and 

 was recorded occasionally under that name without suspicion. It
