DIPTERA SCOTICA : II. INVERNESS-SHIRE 19 



more than a single record referring to the present county, 

 although I have examined the more important entomological 

 and other magazines from the years 1831 to 1899 inclusive! 

 The record in question is that referring to the Gall-midge, 

 Hormomyia juniperina, L. Galls of this species on branches 

 of the common juniper were exhibited by Professor Thomas 

 King at a meeting of the Glasgow Natural History Society 

 on the 3Oth September 1890, and were stated to have been 

 obtained at Boat of Garten. 



For the present list of 173 species I am much indebted 

 to my friends Mr. Wm. Evans, Mr. L. W. Hinxman, Mr. 

 Wm. Eagle Clarke, the Rev. E. N. Bloomfield, and above 

 all, Lieut.-Col. J. W. Yerbury, to all of whom I here tender 

 my grateful thanks. The interesting and well-preserved col- 

 lections formed by the last-named gentleman form indeed the 

 "backbone" of the present contribution, and I am glad to have 

 the present opportunity of publicly acknowledging the debt 

 under which he has placed me through his great generosity. 

 All the specimens mentioned in the present paper under 

 his name have been presented by him to the Edinburgh 

 Museum, and hence have been examined by me. Since the 

 list was made up, a further consignment, containing many 

 interesting additions, has been received from the same 

 source, and these will form a valuable supplement to be 

 published later.
