of the other groups of insects. It should also be explained that, 

 owing to the unset condition and excessive fragility of the 

 insects, it was quite impossible to make a satisfactory ex- 

 amination of numbers of specimens, so that the list presented 

 is by no means exhaustive of all Mr. Bruce's captures. To 

 Mr. Edward Saunders best thanks are due for so kindly 

 overlooking the Hemiptera ; of which group there were but 

 few species, and few examples. I present the lists with 

 remarks upon them just as they were furnished to me. For 

 a description of the geological structure and meteorological 

 conditions of Ben Nevis, the reader is referred to an impor- 

 tant note by Mr. Bruce (ante, pp. 28-37, and also for 

 Neuroptera, pp. 105, 106).
