182 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 



L., refer to H. brevipalpis, Bedel, and not to this species. 

 Fowler (i) states: "I have a Scotch specimen named as 

 If. brevicollis for me by M. Brisout which appears to be very 

 close to H. ceneipennis " (viridicollis, Steph.) ; but he does 

 not repeat this record in his Coleoptera of the British Islands 

 published subsequently. It appears best to consider brevicollis, 

 Th. as doubtfully Scotch, until some additional evidence of its 

 occurrence is obtained.]

THE SCOTTISH SYMPHYLA. 



By Richard S. Bagnall, F.L.S., F.E.S. (Hope Department 

 of Zoology, University Museum, Oxford). 



FOURTEEN species of Symphyla are now known as British, 

 of which seven occur in Scotland ; but as the Scottish 

 records are merely the results of a few short collecting hours 

 mainly in the Clyde and Forth areas, more species may be 

 expected to occur. The forms that have not yet been 

 recognised from north of the borders are Scutigerella 

 hanseni, Bagn. (Co. Durham) ; Scolopendrella notacantha, 

 Gervais (Cheshire) ; S. isabella*, Grassi (Co. Durham) ; 

 S. dunelmensis, Bagn. (Co. Durham) ; S. jacksoni, Bagn.
