160 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



63. NEMOTELUS ULIGINOSUS, L. Aberlady, June 1870 and in 



1873 Verrall, 3, p. 202 ; several of each sex taken at 

 Aberlady in July 1898 (Wm. Evans). 



64. NEMOTELUS NOTATUS, Ztt. Aberlady, June 1870 Verrall, 



3, p. 202 ; (, Luffness Links, near Aberlady, loth July 

 1895 (Wm. Evans) Grimshaw, "Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist." 

 1897, p. 24 ; also in July 1898 in same locality (Wm. Evans). 



65. NEMOTELUS NIGRINUS, Fin. $ and ?, Aberlady, July 1898 



(Wm. Evans). 



66. OXYCERA PYGM/EA, Fin. Two, Luffness Marsh, i4th July 



1898 Wm. Evans, "Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist." 1901, p. 52. 

 In a box of unpinned specimens given to me by Mr. Evans, 

 and taken by him on the same day, I found several more 

 examples of both sexes of this interesting species. 



67. OXYCERA TRILINEATA, Fab. [Musca] Neighbourhood of 



Edinburgh Stewart, i, p. 576; , Luffness Marsh, i4th 

 July 1898 Wm. Evans, "Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist." 1901, 



P- 5 2 - 



68. OXYCERA MUSCARIA, Fab. Tower Dean, above the Pease 



Mill, Berwickshire Hardy, " Proc. Berw. Nat. Club," vol. 

 vii. (1873-75), p. 326. This species is given in Part III. of 

 Verrall's " List" (ed. i), and hence requires confirmation. 



69. STRATIOMYS CHAMELEON, L. \_J\fuscd\ Neighbourhood of 



Edinburgh Stewart, i, p. 576; "sides of Duddingston Loch, 

 Braid Marshes, and other similar places round Edinburgh, 

 but not frequent" Duncan, "Mag. Zool. and Bot." vol. i. 

 (1837), p. 149. From this and other records (given below) by 

 James Duncan, who was a thoroughly competent entomo- 

 logist, it would appear that Duddingston Loch formerly 

 possessed a wonderful variety of insect life, but the most 

 interesting species have, it is to be feared, long disappeared 

 from that locality. The same remark unfortunately applies to 

 the Braid Marshes and other places in the immediate vicinity 

 of the ever-growing Scottish metropolis. The old records 

 are none the less interesting, and should be taken careful 

 note of. 



70. STRATIOMYS POTAMIDA, Mg. $ and 9, Luffness Links, i5th 



July 1898 : " several others were seen " Wm. Evans, "Ann. 

 Scot. Nat. Hist." 1901, p. 52. 



71. STRATIOMYS RIPARIA, Mg. "Once taken near Duddingston" 



Duncan, " Mag. Zool. and Bot." vol. i. (1837), p. 151. 



72. ODONTOMYIA ARGENTATA, Fab. \_Musca~\ Neighbourhood of 



Edinburgh Stewart, i, p. 576.
