The only previous references to captures of Coleoptera 

 on St Kilda which I can find are : — {a) A brief note by the 

 late Mr. C. W. Dale (" Ent. Mo. Mag.," xx. 214, 1883), 

 where the capture of Nebria bi'evicollis, F., and PterosticJms 

 striola, F., is recorded ; and {b) an article by Mr. John 

 MacGillivray in the " Edin. New Phil. Jour.," xxxiii. 47-70, 

 1842, where the following captures are noted: Elaphrtis 

 lapp07iicus, Gyll. (" in the Glen ") ; Morychus ceneus^ Er. (Mr. 

 MacGillivray adds that both these were then recent ac- 

 quisitions to the British fauna) ; Carabus gi^anulatus, L., and 

 C. catenidatiLs^ Scop. ; Elaphrus aipreus, Duft. ; Dascilliis 

 cej'vinus^ L. ; Corymbites ceneus, L., and C. aipreus, F., and 

 C. tessellatus, F. ; and Geoti'upes sylvatiacs, Pz. It will be 

 observed that none of the beetles in the above two lists, 

 except Carabus catenulatus and Nebria brevicollis, v/ere found 

 by Mr. Waterston or Mr. Hewitt. 



In Dr. Joy's list (see p. 34) 35 species not given in the 

 above are enumerated, making a total of 1 1 1 species so far 

 recorded from St. Kilda.

 MAINLY COLLECTED FROM BIRDS' NESTS. 



By Norman H. Joy, M.R.C.S., F.E.S. 



Last year, when studying the beetles that occur in the 



nests of birds, I thought it might be possible to obtain some 



species of special interest by examining the nests of sea-
