Egyptian Goose ( Anser Egyptiacus ). — Three of these beautiful birds — 

 a male and two females — were shot out of a flock of seven, on Yetholm Loch, 

 Roxburghshire, on May 22d, 1874. — Andrew Brotherston, Kelso. 



New Localities for some Local Scottish Lepidoptera p. Sttaices 



occurs here not unfrequently, but not very plentifully. It seems to be less 

 confined to one spot than the Zygcence, though its head quarters are along 

 with a colony of Filipendidce, as I take single specimens in various places. 

 M. aurinia (artemis) has a little colony here too, but it consists of very few 

 members, and is confined to a small piece of moist ground. I have taken 

 Nola eristidalis not unfrequently during May. — W. D. ROBINSON DOUGLAS, 

 Orchardton, Castle Douglas. 



Scottish Spiders. — The Rev. O. P. Cambridge having kindly furnished 

 me with a list of some spiders which I sent him, which were collected by 

 me last summer in Orkney, Sutherland, and Moray north of the Caledonian 

 Canal (or East Ross), meaning thereby the provinces as defined in the 

 Scottish Naturalist, vol. I. pp. 16 1 -2, I am induced to send complete lists 

 of the species collected in these districts, owing to the previous total want 

 of information about their spider fauna, even though the lists be but small. 

 Lycosa agretica and Lycosa saccata, Orkney and Sutherland ; L. rapax, 

 Sutherland; L. piratica, Orkney; Thomisus cristatus, all three; Th. erra- 

 ticus, Sutherland; Clubiona trivialis, Koch., Orkney and East Ross; 

 Ciniflo atrox, Sutherland ; Ergatis benigna, Orkney and Sutherland - r 

 Textrix lycosina, Sutherland; Theridion nervosum, Sutherland; Linyphia 

 variegata, Bl. (= Neriene variegata of my previous list), Sutherland; Z. 

 luteola, Bl., Sutherland and East Ross; Z. alticeps, Sund., Orkney; L. 

 reticulata, Cambr. , Sutherland ; Z. socialis, Bl. , Sutherland ; Z. fuliginea, 

 Bl., Sutherland; Z. tenuis, Orkney and Sutherland; Neriene livida, Bl., 

 Orkney and Sutherland; N pascalis, Cambr., Sutherland, described in 

 Linn. Transactions as new to science, from a specimen taken by me at 

 Dunkeld; N. clara, Cambr., Orkney, just described in Linn. Transactions, 

 from specimens taken on the Cheviots by Mr. Hardy ; N. rubens, Orkney ; 

 Pachygnalha degeerii, East Ross ; Epeira quadrata, Sutherland ; E. apoclisa, 

 Sutherland; E. diadema, Sutherland — all also in East Ross; E. indinala, 

 all three provinces; E. cucurbitina, Sutherland; Tetragnatlia extensa, 

 Sutherland. The following species have been taken by me in " Dee " last 

 year, additional to those recorded for that province in my previous li>t 

 (Sc. Nat., II., pp. 24-5): — Lycosa agretica; Lycosa exigua ; Clubiona reclusa 

 Cambr. ; Linyp/iia alticeps, Sund. ; Neriene fusca, Bl. ; N foveolata, — A r . 

 elevata, Cambr. ; Epeira umbratica. They are all from Braemar, where I 

 have also taken this year Linyphia rufa and Lycosa traillii. At Ballater I 

 took Salticus coronatus. In reference to the list already referred to, I must 

 ask that Drassus cupreus, Clubiona holosericea, and C. brevipes may be 

 deleted from it as being incorrectly inserted, and that there be added to it 

 the following species, new to science, figured and described by Mr. Cam- 

 bridge in the Linnean Transactions, from specimens sent him by me last 

 summer: — Clubiona voluta, Cambr., Aberdeenshire; A r erieue pascalis, 

 Cambr., from near Dunkeld; Linyphia lepida, Cambr., near Dunkeld. — 

 James W. H. Traill, M.A.
