NOTES 141 



Little Auk : a Correction. — Mr J. G. Gordon, of Corsemalzie, 

 Whauphill, informs us that the Little Auk recorded in the April 

 number of the magazine (p. 80) as from Whauphill, Wigtownshire, 

 was sent to him from North Berwick. — Eds. 



Three Hemiptera-Heteroptera new to the Scottish list, 

 from the Forth Area. — Since the publication of a number of 

 my records of Hemiptera (Plant-bugs) in the Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist. 

 for 1900 and 1901, I have taken in the Forth Area the following 

 species, which so far as I am aware have not been recorded from 

 Scotland : — 



Ischnorhynchus geminatus, Fieb. — Abundant on bell-heather 

 (Erica cinerea) in an open space in Boltonmoor Wood, Hadding- 

 tonshire, 30th July 1904. 



Coranus subapterus (De G.). — Two taken on a bare spot on the 

 edge of a heathy wood between Thornton and West Wemyss, Fife, 

 1 2th July 1 90 1. No locality north of Norfolk is given for this 

 species in Saunders' Heteroptera of the British Isles. Mr Saunders 

 was shown one of my specimens. 



Allodapus rufescens (Burm.). — On 23rd August 1902, I found a 

 brachypterous example of this rare species in a nest of Formica fusca, 

 at Balquhidder, south-west Perthshire. Saunders gives no locality 

 for it north of Yorkshire, and from Mr E. A. Butler I learn that, 

 though its association with Ants has been recorded on the Continent, 

 it does not seem to have been previously taken in their company in 

 this country. — William Evans. 



Freshwater Rhizopoda from the Hebrides, etc. — In the 



notes on this subject published in the number for March this year, 

 I overlooked an important contribution by Prof. G. S. West, F.Z.S., to 

 the Journal of the Linnean Society (Zoology), vol. xxix., 1905, entitled 

 "Observations on Freshwater Rhizopoda, with some Remarks on 

 their Classification," in which is given a list of thirty-one species 

 from various localities in the Hebrides. For the benefit of those 

 unable to refer to the original, appended is a list of the fifteen 

 species found by Prof. West which are not included in my records 

 from those islands : — Nuclearia conspicua, G. S. West ; Vampyrella 

 lateritia, Amoeba proteus, A. verrucosa, Pelomyxa palustris, Dactylo- 

 sphozrinm radiosum, Cochliopodium bilimbosum, Cyphoderia ampulla, 

 Difflugia corona, D. Solowetzkii, Euglypha ciliata, E. cristata 

 (length, 65 to 104 fj) ; Hyalosphenia p/aty stoma, 

 Nebela colhu-is, N. flabclluhnn. This makes the number of
