Obs. — C. J. Thomson considers that several distinct species are usually 

 confounded together, and called Q. fulgidus. He has given characters 

 which he considers differentiate certain of these species ; but the question 

 as to whether these be really species or varieties still requires a very careful 

 examination. Of Thomson's species, I believe I have ascertained the 

 occurrence of Q. temporalis, Q. fageti, and Q. puncticollis in Scotland.
