DIPTERA SCOTICA : VI. THE WESTERN ISLES 207 



Rintoul ; a large number from the islands of South Uist, 

 Benbecula, and Lewis, taken by Mr Norman B. Kinnear, of 

 the Bombay Museum ; a few flies taken in Mull by Dr Nelson 

 Annandale, of the Calcutta Museum ; a few from Mr William 

 Evans, taken in Islay by his daughter ; and lastly, one or two 

 specimens from the island of Harris, captured by Mr A. J. 

 H. Edwards. 



For the benefit of those who are not familiar with the 

 geography of the Hebrides I append a rough outline map, 

 on which I have indicated most of the localities mentioned 

 in the list. 



In the vexed question of nomenclature, I have endeavoured 

 to be up-to-date. In the main I have followed the Palaearctic 

 Catalogue of Becker and others (Katalog der Palaarktischen 

 Diptera, Buda-Pest, 1903-7), but have departed therefrom 

 when a more recent Monograph has rendered such a course 

 advisable. Meigen's much discussed paper of 1900 has been 

 followed throughout, for I am convinced that sooner or later 

 we shall have to fall into line with American and continental 

 entomologists, and the sooner we become familiar with 

 Meigen's original names the better. To render the present 

 list a little less revolutionary, however, I have given in 

 parentheses the names of the families and genera as used 

 in Verrall's " List," whenever the unfamiliar names of 

 Meigen's 1900 paper are adopted.
