Turtle Dove in Aberdeenshire. — A pair of Turtle Doves ( Columba 

 Turtur) were seen frequenting a field of newly sown turnips at Bridgend, 

 Fyvie, and one was shot on May 27th. — George Sim, Gourdas, Fyvie, 

 June 9, 1875. 



Aromia moschata. — I do not know whether the fact that I have taken 

 several larvae of Aromia moschata from a dead willow tree in this neigh- 

 bourhood (Haddingtonshire) is of any interest, but, as the insect is not 

 mentioned as an inhabitant of Scotland in the only list I have by me — 

 *' Murray's " one rather out of date — I venture to send you this notice, in 

 case you should consider it worthy of publication in the Scottish Naturalist. 

 — A. Buchan Hepburn, Smeaton Hepburn, Prestonkirk, June, 1875.
