DIPTERA SCOTICA : I. PERTHSHIRE 85 



the supplementary lists which I hope to furnish later on, all 

 additions to the county will receive numbers consecutive 

 with those already published, so that at any time the number 

 of recorded species for any particular county can be ascer- 

 tained at a glance. New localities for the rarer or more 

 interesting species will be given, but the old number, for 

 convenience of reference, will in each case be affixed to the 

 specific name. 



The following contribution, forming the first of the 

 series, is the result of the collecting zeal of three of my 

 valued correspondents, namely, Mr. W. Wylie of Perth, 

 Mr. T. M. M'Gregor of the same city, and my esteemed 

 friend Mr. William Evans. To Mr. Alex. M. Rodger, of the 

 Perth Museum, I am indebted for allowing me to work 

 through Mr. Wylie's specimens. While tendering my thanks 

 to these gentlemen for their valuable assistance, may I 

 express the hope that their kindly example may be followed 

 by others in different parts of Scotland, so that I may be 

 able to proceed in like manner to the preparation of lists for 

 other counties ? 



Mr. M'Gregor's records have been previously published 

 by me in the " Annals" (1895, pp. 159-162), but in order 

 to render the present paper more complete, and to save 

 troublesome back reference, I have incorporated them in the 

 following list.
