The above Psychodidm have been collected by me and submitted to the Rev. 

 Alfred E. Eaton, who has kindly named them for me. He says that of the species 

 from Aviemore, Guisachan and Kilmacrenan two occur commonly in hilly parts of 

 Somerset and E. Devon, but P. mutua is local on those hills, and does not figure in 

 many collections. The species of Psychodidce from the Fens are not all the species 

 that are likely to be found there should the time of collecting be extended a 

 month or sis weeks earlier and later ; most of them are plentiful in marsliy districts, 

 but P. caliginosa is local, more so than morula. 



The English and Scottish specimens will be placed in the Edinburgh Museum 

 of Science of Art, and the Irish specimens will go to the Dublin Museum of Science 

 and Art. — James J. F. X. King, 1, Athole Gardens Terrace, Kelvinside, Glasgow :

^schna ccerulea in Ross-shire. — Lately, when looking through some of my 

 captui'es that had been laid aside, I found a female of Mschna ccerulea taken at 

 Loch Rosque, near Loch Mareo, Ross-sliire, on July 8th, 1890. This so far is the 

 most northerly record for the species in Britain. — Id. 



The late 3Ir. R. S. Meade's Collections. —We understand that these collections 

 have been presented to the Yorkshire College at Leeds. We place this prominently 

 on record inasmuch as a not inconsiderable number of types are included amongst 

 the Diptera. — Eds. 



A proposed Supplement to Scudder's " Nomenclator Zoologicus." — We hear 

 with great satisfaction that the Council of the Zoological Society has entrusted to 

 Mr. C. O. Waterhouse, F.E.S., of the Entomological Department of the British 

 Museum (Natural History), the preparation of what will practically amount to a 

 Supplement to " Scudder," consisting of a collective alphabetical arrangement of the 

 Lists of Genera published in the annual Zoological Records since 1879, together 

 with generic names omitted in " Scudder " (and they are not few). Of the enormous 

 utility of such a work there cannot be two opinions. In order to render it as com- 

 plete as possible all workers are requested to communicate to Mr. Waterhouse 

 any terms known by them to be omitted in " Scudder," or in the vols, of the 

 Zoological Record. — Eds.
