96 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



(Kincraig), and it is on record from Lewes and Hoy. So far 

 back as 1876 the late W. A. Forbes recorded it as common on 

 Arthur's Seat ("Scot. Nat.," iii. p. 316). Q. fuliginosus, Grav., 

 is equally common in " Forth." Q. auricomus, Kies. Inner- 

 leithen, January; Pentlands above Dreghorn, March 1897; 

 Bonaly Glen, April 1898 among moss in running water. 



Philonthus splendens, F. Near Kingussie, August 1889; Long- 

 niddry, February 1896 ; Aberfoyle, September 1897. P. lucens, 

 Er. Aberfoyle, two, May 1897. P. scymbalarius, Nord. 

 (longicornis, Steph.). Dollar, April 1897, one. Recorded from 

 East Lothian by Sir A. Buchan-Hepburn ("Proc. Berw. Nat. 

 Club," vol. viii.). 



Cafius fucicola, Curt. Under rotting seaweed, Aberdour, Fife, 

 March 1896, February 1899, and loth March 1900 (common). 

 On the last occasion it and C. xantholoma, Grav., occurred 

 together in about equal numbers ; one example of the latter 

 species is var. variolosus, Sharp. Murray's record of fucicola 

 from Dalmeny was doubted by Dr. Sharp (to whom I have 

 shown one of my specimens), but afterwards confirmed by the 

 late R. F. Logan ("Ent. Mo. Mag.," xxiii. p. 161). Recorded 

 also from Tyne estuary, East Lothian, by Sir A. Buchan-Hep- 

 burn, and from Machrihanish ("E.M.M.," 1896, p. in). 



Xantholinns distans, Kr. A pale Xantholinus taken by me on Luff- 

 ness Links, in August 1896, and named distans(^} by Mr. 

 Thornley, who has recorded the form from Caithness, is in 

 Dr. Sharp's opinion referable to that form. 



Stilicus affiniS) Er. Mortonhall, North Queensferry, and Lanark. 



Dianoiis ccerutescens, Gyll. Fairly common in dripping moss at side 

 of a tiny waterfall, Bonaly ravine, Pentlands, April 1898.

 1897. S. guynemeri, Duv. Ochils above Dollar, April 1897, 

 and Bonaly ravine, Pentlands, April 1898, in moss on water- 

 falls. S. pusilhis, Er. Common in Edinburgh district in 

 October and November. 1896. S. pubescens, Steph., and S. 

 binotatus, Ljun. Both taken in Moray district (Kincraig), and 

 likewise in Forth.
