Glasgow. We then arrived at Rannocb station about 11 a.m., where 

 we met the Eannoch mail coach, which carried us to the head of the 

 loch, but as the mail route was along the north side that day, we had 

 to proceed on our way to Camachgouran on foot, our baggage being 

 brought along in a cart. 



Having arrived at our quarters, and partaken of some refresh- 

 ment, during which our baggage was announced, we got our nets, &c., 

 into order, and sallied forth to have a look at the well-know entomo- 

 logical hunting ground, the Black Wood. 



Mr. K. J. Morton joined our small party on the Friday after our 

 arrival, and stayed over the week end. During our stay, which just 

 extended to a fortnight, we had the pleasure of the company of 

 Dr. McCallum and Mr. AVm. Reid, and of Mr. and Mrs. Cowl, of 

 Bournemouth. 



On the whole, we had very fair weather, although there was a 

 considerable amount of snow on the hills around ; the evenings were 

 very cold, and on one day we had a thunderstorm. 



Previous to our visit, the season had been very wet and cold, 

 consequently the ground was damp, and in parts of the wood very 

 swampy. 



The take of Neuroptera was fairly good, including as it did three 

 species new to Britain (indicated by asterisks), and some others rather 

 uncommon. 



Our work was confined to the immediate vicinity of Camach- 

 gouran and the Black Wood, only one or two trips extending to any 

 distance from our head-quarters.
