 Edited by F. BUCHANAN WHITE, M.D., F.L.S. 



DURING the seven years that have elapsed since this list 

 was commenced, the study of the geographical distribution 

 of the Scottish Lepidoptera has received a considerable impulse. 

 Many new workers have arisen, and, as a natural consequence, 

 our knowledge of the distribution in Scotland of species already 

 known as Scottish has not only been very much increased, but 

 several species — some of them very unexpected — have been 

 added to our list. It is chiefly in the south of Scotland that this 

 good work has been done, as it is in that part of the country 

 that most of the new workers have appeared. Regarding the 

 Lepidoptera of the north and of the north-west, a great deal re- 

 mains to be learnt. 



In the following series of papers I purpose giving — istly, The 

 additions (some of which require corroboration) to the list of 

 species; 2dly, The additions to the district distribution; ^Pi^ t #s^3^

As only one or two specimens have been taken or seen in each of the dis - 

 tvicts indicated, it is possible that this species is not really established in 

 Scotland.
