Other Records of Scottish Aphides. 



Whilst recording these aphides from Ross-shire it may 

 be of interest to mention a few other species which have 

 been recorded from Scotland. These are mainly Myrme- 

 cophilus species sent by Mr Donisthorpe to Mr Theobald. 

 Thev are as follows : 



Ancecia corui, Fab. Isle of Eigg, Hebrides, 19th November 

 191 1 and September 191 1, with Myrmica ruginodis and Lasiusflavus. 

 Tobermory Bay, Mull, with Lasius ftavus, 15th October 191 1. 



Pemphigus picetz, Hartig. This species occurs in Mr Theobald's 

 collection from roots of Picea sent him by Dr Stewart MacDougall 

 from Scotland. 



Tetraneura u/mi, Geoffr. Isle of Eigg, Hebrides, with Lasius 

 flavus, 17th September 191 1; and Loch Aber, near Dumfries, with 

 Myrmica ruginodis, 30th June 1908. Also from Isle of May, 

 September 19 10, with Lasius flavus (W. Evans). 



Tycheoides setarice, Passerini. Loch Aber, near Dumfries, 30th 

 April 1908, with Myrmica ruginodis.

Note. The terminology adopted in this paper is the sarr.e as that put forward 

 by Shonen Matsumura in the Journal of the College of Agriculture \ Tohoku 

 Imperial University, Sappora, Japan, vol. vii., part 6. 



White Variety of the Orkney Vole. A white variety of 

 Microtus orcadensis was captured in October last near Stromness, 

 and has been presented to the museum of that town. It is an 

 immature male, and is believed to be the only white example of 

 this species that has been seen or obtained. The specimen is of 

 further interest from the fact that it is not an albino, inasmuch as 

 its eyes were black. George Ellison and Andrew Towers.
