Fourth Paper, with Statistical Summary. 

 By Hugh Boyd Watt, M.B.O.U., F.Z.S. 



The following notes supplement three earlier communica- 

 tions by the writer to the Annals of Scot. Nat. Hist., viz., 

 October 1908, pp. 218-223 ; April 1910, pp. 68-70; and April 

 191 1, pp. 72-75 ; and, as before, the additional records now 

 given are arranged under the faunal divisions, with the 

 names of the authorities attached. In some cases no details 

 are available, and information as to these and other places 

 would be welcome.
