" Fragment of dorsal spine destitute of fluting." — P. Duff, op. cit 

 Plate IV. Fig. 4. An undetermined bone, not a selachian 

 spine, though it is referred by Duff to Hybodus Lawsonii. 



"Scale of fish not determined."— P. Duff, op. cit. Plate IV. Fig. 7. 

 This does not seem to be a scale but an internal bone. 



A LIST OF THE MACRO-LEPIDOPTERA OF 

 BALERNO, MIDLOTHIAN. 



By E. W. Carlier, M.D., B.Sc. 



The locality to which the following list refers may be 

 divided into three distinct portions : — 



1. The Road, leading from Balerno to the common, is 

 bordered by hedges of hawthorn and beech, with here and 

 there a stone wall ; behind these are cultivated lands, 

 pastures, or small woods of common forest trees. 



2. The COMMON, now much reduced by drainage, for- 

 merly covered a large area ; the few remaining acres consist 

 of peat bog, very damp and full of holes, but possessing a 

 varied vegetation. This bog, which is cut in two by a grassy 

 path running east and west, is bounded on the south by 

 Bavclaw Burn, on the east by the main road and Bavelaw 

 Wood, on the west by a broken hawthorn hedge, beyond which 

 is arable land, and on the north by a farm road bordered by 

 a belt of lime and beech trees. 



3. Bavelaw Wood, which is little more than a plantation 

 of Scotch firs and beech trees, with a sprinkling of young 

 mountain ash, situated to the east of the main road, is 

 raised a foot or two above the level of the common, which 

 docs not prevent it from being very damp and boggy. It
