ZOOLOGICAL NOTES 55 



therecorded localities for the British "Plume " Moths are summarised), 

 p. 1 6 1, I write: "Common from September to June at Pitcaple," 

 and that the recorded localities " suggest a wide distribution in 

 Scotland." This seems to have been overlooked by Mr. Barrett and 

 Mr. Elliot. J. W. TUTT, Westcombe Hill, S.E. 



Migratory Locust in Aberdeenshire. A fine specimen of this 

 Locust (Pachytyhis inigratorius) was sent to me alive by Miss M. A. 

 Smith, Coldwells School, Longhaven, on the east coast of Aberdeen- 

 shire, for preservation. It was caught in a cornfield near the sea in 

 that district on Saturday 2nd October, and kept in a glass cell until 

 the 6th. Professor Trail, to whom I showed it, thinks it must have 

 been blown across from the continent. JOHN DAVIDSON, Marischal 

 College, Aberdeen. 



Boreus hiemalis, Z., in Midlothian. In the part of this journal 

 for January 1897 I mentioned a number of localities in the neighbour- 

 hood of Edinburgh in which I had met with this insect during 

 October and November of the previous year. I have now to add 

 two fresh localities for it, namely: banks of the Water of Leith below 

 Harper-rig Reservoir, in the western section of the county, and 

 Mountlothian, between Penicuik and the Moorfoot Hills, in the 

 southern section, one specimen in each, on loth and 22nd November 

 1897 respectively. WILLIAM EVANS, Edinburgh. 



Metamenardi (Latr.} in Kirkcudbrightshire. Referring to my 

 note in the "Annals" for October 1896, I have received from Mr. 

 R. Service, Dumfries, an adult female of this spider captured on 1 2th 

 December 1897 in a cave in Conhuith Wood, Kirkcudbrightshire, 

 where he found the cocoon on a former occasion. WILLIAM EVANS, 

 Edinburgh. 



Diaptomus hireus, G. S. Brady, in Loch Loehy, Inverness- 

 shire. This is so far a somewhat rare freshwater Copepod, at least 

 its distribution appears to be restricted and local. It was moderately 

 common in a gathering of Entomostraca I collected a few years ago 

 in Loch Harray, Orkney, and I have also obtained what appears to 

 be the same species in a loch near Campbeltown (Cantyre). These 

 are, I think, all the localities where it has been observed hitherto, 

 so that Loch Lochy is a distinctly new station. Diaptomus hireus 

 is readily distinguished from D. gracilis the most common species 

 of the genus in the lochs of the mainland of Scotland by its stouter 

 " build," by its shorter antennules, and by the structure of the fifth 

 pair of thoracic feet in male and female. THOMAS SCOTT, Leith. 



On the occurrence of Duliehia monoeantha, G. O. Sars, in 

 the Clyde. I have recently obtained an undoubted example of this 

 Amphipod among some material collected in the Clyde by Mr. F. G. 

 Pearcy. I have on two or three previous occasions obtained 

 specimens of what appeared to be this species, but they were females,
