SCOTLAND. In ' A List of Insects found in the neighbour- 

 hood of Edinburgh ' by C. Stewart, 1809, G-ryllus varius 

 occurs. Also in G. Don's ' Account of the Plants and 

 Animals of the County of Forfar/ 1813, the name varius is 

 mentioned. If this insect was found in Scotland then it 

 seems since to have disappeared; or, more probably, is 

 awaiting a new discoverer.
