IV. — Records from Orkney and Shetland Lighthouses. 



The lighthouses in these groups of islands from which specimens 

 have been sent are : Hoy Low, and Auskerry in Orkney ; Fair Isle 

 South, and North Unst in Shetland. So far the number of specimens 

 received is not large, but the results are sufficient to make us desire 

 to see more material from these northern stations. As regards the 

 North Unst records, I gather from Mr M'Eachern's letter that the 

 Trichoptera (caddis-flies) were taken at the shore station, and not 

 at the lighthouse itself.
