found in Shetland. Except Degeeria cifida, D. lanuginosa^ and 

 IsoioDia cceca, n. sp., they are all found in Scandinavia, and are 

 rather common there. 



From Morayshire we have only eight species, which perhaps 

 arises from our attention during our stay there being more ex- 

 clusively turned to other orders of insects. The only remarkable 

 species from this district is one new to Britain (found also in 

 Shetland and Orkney), Sminthurus li?ieatus^ which occurred at 

 Dava. 



In following list I have given short descriptions of the species 

 which are not mentioned in Lubbock's ' Monograph of the Col- 

 lembola and Thysanura,' as well as of some more critical forms.
