Empis concolor, Verr., in Midlothian. — There does not 

 seem to have been any record of this species since Verrall described 

 it in 1872. He captured three males and a female at Aberlady on 

 30th June 1870. This record is referred to in Mr Grimshaw's 

 "Diptera Scotica," iii. {Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist., 1903, p. 164). It is 

 interesting, therefore, to know that the species occurs at Mussel- 

 burgh, where I took two males and three females at flowers of an 

 Umbellifer growing at the side of the Esk on 24th July 1906, 

 The species must be rare, as these are the only specimens I have 

 seen. — A. E. J. Carter, Monifieth. 



Leria flavotestacea, Zett., in Midlothian and Perth- 

 shire. — While collecting at Polton (Midlothian) on 6th August 

 1906, I swept up a male of this rare species. I have also a male 

 taken at Blairgowrie, 12th June 19 13. This fly w^as added to the 

 British List by Mr J. E. Collin {Ent. Mo. Mag., 1910, p. 126) on 

 specimens from Forres, The Mound (Sutherland), and two Welsh 

 localities. It has since been recorded {Scot. Nat., 19 13, p. 137) 

 from Lochinver by Col. Yerbury. The present records show that 

 it is widely distributed in Scotland. — A. E. J. Carter, Monifieth,
