50 The Scottish Naturalist. 



M. Campbell, and includes the usual 7 widely distributed species 

 and the more local Lissotriton pahnipes. 



The Fishes are not treated of. 



An introduction to the Entomology of Clydesdale is given 

 by Mr. P. Cameron, who mentions some of the rarer Cole- 

 optera, Lepidoptera, and Hymenoptera, and alludes to some 

 of the other orders. The lists of insects are rather extensive 

 and valuable. Mr. P. Cameron gives lists of the Hymenopterous 

 families, Tenthredinidee and Cynipidse, of the west of Scotland 

 — the " west " in a very " wide " sense, as for some of the species 

 the only locality mentioned is Rannoch, and Dunkeld and 

 Kingussie appear as localities for others. Probably no district 

 in Britain has had these families so well catalogued before. 



The Trichoptera of the Glasgow district are treated of by 

 Mr. Binnie, whose list embraces about 60 species. Glasgow is 

 fortunate in possessing such energetic workers at '' neglected 

 orders " as Messrs. Cameron and Binnie. 



Mr. J. J. King furnishes an extensive list of the Lepidoptera 

 of the Glasgow district, which we are glad to notice in- 

 cludes both the Tortrices and Tineina. Glasgow has been 

 lucky in having had for a long time several veteran 

 Lepidopterologists, such as Mr. T. Chapman, Dr. Colquhoun,&c., 

 and Mr. King has been fortunate in obtaining the benefit of 

 their experience. Most of the species in the list appear to us 

 to have been probably correctly determined, though of the 

 occurrence of a few "macros" and several "micros" in the 

 district under consideration, we must express ourselves rather 

 sceptical, as indeed does Mr. King himself. The latter part of 

 the list will probably receive many additions. 



None of the other orders of insects are catalogued, a state of 

 matters which we hope will be amended in the next edition of 

 the work. The lists, as far as they go, are very creditable, but we 

 expected to have seen a list of the Coleoptera at least, remem- 

 bering that such well-known Coleopterologists as Mr. R. Hislop, 

 and Mr Morris Young, have been, or are, inhabitants of the 

 district. 



Mr David Robertson furnishes a list of the Crustacea of the 

 Firth of Clyde, and the same well-qualified naturalist treats also 

 of the recent Marine Mollusca of the west of Scotland. It is 

 to be noted that the list of these Mollusca in the bound volume 

 is faulty, and that Mr. Robertson's name should not have been 

 attached thereto. A new and correct list by Mr Robertson has
