The only previous references to captures of Coleoptera 

 on St. Kilda which I can find are : (a) A brief note by the 

 late Mr. C. W. Dale (" Ent. Mo. Mag.," xx. 214, 1883), 

 where the capture of Nebria brevicollis, F., and Pterostichus 

 striola, F., is recorded ; and () an article by Mr. John 

 MacGillivray in the " Edin. New Phil. Jour.," xxxiii. 47-70, 

 1842, where the following captures are noted: Elaphrus 

 lapponicus, Gyll. (" in the Glen ") ; Morychus czneus, Er. (Mr. 

 MacGillivray adds that both these were then recent ac- 

 quisitions to the British fauna) ; Carabus granulatus, L., and 

 C. catenulatus, Scop. ; Elaphms cupreus, Duft. ; Dascillus 

 cervinus, L. ; Corymbites tzneus, L., and C. cupreus, F., and 

 C. tessellatus, F. ; and Geotrupes sylvaticus, Pz. It will be 

 observed that none of the beetles in the above two lists, 

 except Carabus catenulatus and Nebria brevicollis, were found 

 by Mr. Waterston or Mr. Hewitt. 



In Dr. Joy's list (see p. 34) 35 species not given in the 

 above are enumerated, making a total of i 1 1 species so far 

 recorded from St. Kilda.

 MAINLY COLLECTED FROM BIRDS' NESTS. 



By NORMAN H. JOY, M.R.C.S., F.E.S. 



LAST year, when studying the beetles that occur in the 



nests of birds, I thought it might be possible to obtain some 



species of special interest by examining the nests of sea-
