NOTES ON COLEOPTERA FROM ST. KILDA 31 



June 17 to July 17, 1905, the weather during his visit 

 being very fine ; and the second collection was made by 

 Mr. C. Gordon Hewitt, M.Sc, of Manchester, during a visit 

 of four weeks' duration in July 1906 — the weather during 

 Mr. Hewitt's visit was very bad, and made collecting at times 

 anything but enjoyable. 



I have had the pleasure of identifying Mr. Waterston's 

 captures, and Mr. Hewitt has kindly sent me a complete 

 list of his specimens, with notes on localities, etc., and he 

 desires to express his thanks to Mr. J. R. Hardy of the 

 Manchester iMuseum for assistance in identifying his captures. 



Mr. Waterston informs me that the whole of his collection 

 was made on Hirta, which is the main island, or St. Kilda 

 proper. Most of the captures were made under stones, under 

 bits of wood above tide-mark, on dry-stone dykes, in birds' 

 nests on the cliffs, in dried grass on the top of the island, 

 in carrion, and under dung, and a few by sweeping long grass. 



In the table below I have indicated Mr. Waterston's 

 captures by (VV.) and Mr. Hewitt's by (H.). 



As there are very few records dealing with the fauna of 

 this isolated and out-of-the-way spot, it has been thought 

 desirable to give a complete account of the whole of the two 

 collections : —
