ISO ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



that several records of A. unguicularis really referred to this- 

 species. 



I have seen English specimens of A. affiinis from Corn- 

 wall, E. (Clark) ; Devon, S. (J. H. Keys) ; Essex, S. (E. A. 

 Newbery) ; Warwick (H. W. Ellis) ; Cheshire (J. H. Bailey 

 and J. F. Button) ; Cumberland (F. H. Day) ; and Surrey 

 (H. Donisthorpe and E. C. Bedwell). 



In Cornwall both affinis and unguicularis have been 

 taken and recorded as the latter. In Devon and Cumber- 

 land apparently only affinis has occurred, but the record is 

 for unguicularis. I have no record of unguicularis for Essex, 

 the record of affinis being for a single specimen from Epping 

 kindly sent me by Mr. E. A. Newbery. In Warwick both 

 affinis and unguicularis were recorded, but apparently only 

 affinis has occurred. In Cheshire only unguicularis has been 

 recorded, but, thanks to Mr. Dutton, I have seen specimens 

 of both species from there. 



The Surrey specimens are interesting. Up to 1902 

 neither species had been taken, but from 1903 onwards 

 Messrs. Donisthorpe and Bedwell have taken one of them 

 freely, always at Oxshott. The species has been recorded 

 as unguicularis ; but all the specimens in the collections of 

 these gentlemen are affinis. 



A. affinis is very common all through the Solway dis- 

 trict, chiefly in sphagnum pools on peat mosses. I have 

 also taken it commonly in Ayrshire, Renfrew, Dum- 

 barton, and Forfar, and have seen specimens from Clack- 

 mannan. 



A. unguicularis, which is at present the common species 

 in England, is fairly widely distributed in Scotland, although 

 in the Solway district it has only turned up in four localities 

 in Kirkcudbrightshire. I have taken it in Stirling and 

 Forfar, and Dr. Sharp took it in Edinburgh and Haddington, 

 and there are also records for Clackmannan and East Inver- 

 ness. It is, however, I think, the rarer of the two species in 

 Scotland. 



The following is the full list of Solway species. Where 

 I have taken the species myself I give no other authority. 

 The black type indicates the county record, and the smaller 

 type gives the localities where the species occurred.
