THE DISTRIBUTION OF WOODLICE IN 



SCOTLAND. 



By Walter E. Collinge, D.Sc, F.L.S., Carnegie Fellow, 1916-19, 

 and Research Fellow of the University of St Andrews. 



The purpose of the present, necessarily imperfect, record is 

 two-fold : firstly, it is intended to show only those species 

 that have actually passed through the writer's hands. Other 

 records exist, and, with the exception of the very early ones, 

 they are probably equally reliable, but it is necessary if 

 the uniformity of value is to be preserved, to admit only 

 such records as have been authenticated personally ; secondly, 

 it is desirable that workers should know the extent of the 

 numerous gaps that require filling up. 



I am indebted to a large number of correspondents for 

 material, too numerous to be mentioned individually, but 

 I must place on record my thanks to Miss H. B. Barclay, 

 Miss M. Ellison, William Evans, Miss J. Gowan, Miss 

 JE. J. Jardine, Col. H. H. Johnston, the Rev. David Lillie, 

 L. P. W. Renouf, Magnus Spence, Miss G. H. Wauchope, 

 and Dr H. Chas. Williamson. 



Further specimens from any part of Scotland will be 

 cordially welcomed and gratefully acknowledged. All 

 communications should be accompanied by a label giving 

 the name and address of the sender, the locality where 

 collected, and the date.
