tulatus, Yew., S ; /S. latifasciatu.t, Mg., ? with very undulating abdominal bands 

 only touching the margin at extreme upper corners, and dark legs ; Orthoneura 

 elegariK, Mg., ? ; Psila nigra. Fin., several. In June occurred Porphyrops spini- 

 coxa, LvF., scarce; P. crassipes, Mg., scarce; Argyra diapkana, F., $ $ ; Rhampho- 

 myia dentipes, Ztt , in coitu ; Chilosia sparsa, Lw., common ; Syrphus annulatus, 

 Ztt., ? ; Hydrotsea ciliata, F., common ; Elgiva cucularia, L., ? ; Tetanocera 

 sylvatica, Mg., both sexes; Psila atra, Mg., ^ . In July I got Liogaster splendida, 

 Mg., a ? of this beautiful species; Ophyra leucostoma, W., several (also at Comrie). 

 In August I was pleased to find Micropal pus haemorrhoidalis, Fin., in some numbers 

 among heather. I have followed Mr. Waiiiwright (Ent. Mo. Mag., 1905, p. 199) 

 in my identification of this fine species. It is apparently a common insect here- 

 Pegomyia imivittaia, v. Ros., my first capture of the ? ; Hyetodesia rufipalpis, 

 Mcq., 2 (J (J ; Syrphus torvus, O.-S., ? ; Chrysotoxum arcuafum, L., common 

 (also at Comrie). 



I can also record Sciara flavipes, Pz., common at Polton, 20.9.06 ; Pipunculus 

 strobli, \ev\., S, Aberfoyle, 3.9.05; P. terminalis, Thoms., <? , Polton, 19.9.07; 

 Hylemyia peniciUaris, Rnd., (J, Musselburgh, 31.8.03 ; Ccenosia genicuJata, Fin., 

 (?, Aberfoyle, 23.8.06; Pegomyia h^morrhoa, Ztt., (? , Aberfoyle, 30.6.04; and 

 Spania nigra, Mg., ^ , St. Fillans, 16.7.07. Before I left Musselburgh I found Hypo- 

 pkyllus crinipes, Staeg., (Ent. Mo. Mag., 1907, p. 160) to be quite a common 

 species in two different localities.— A. E. J. Caetee, Royal Bank House, Blair-

 Part II, pp. 164 (1908). Copenhagen : G. E. C. Gad. 



These two parts of a work on the Danish Diptera are of considerable importance 

 to the British student of the Order, especially as they are written in English. Tiie 

 Families included are exactly the same as those in Vol. V, of "British Flies," which 

 has just been published, and whereas the British species amount to about 145, those 

 enumerated from Denmark are about 132, of which however about 36 are not at 

 present known to occur in Britain, and consequently about 49 British species are 

 not known to occur in Denmark. The book is quite up-to-date in biology and 

 synonymy, and the descriptions are original and given in ample detail. The 95 

 figures are also all original and very accurate. The Hyraenopterous parasites of the 

 various species are carefully noted. 



It may be of interest to British Students to enumerate the Danish species 

 which are not known to be British, because several of them may be expected to 

 occur here. As might be expected from our List of Reputed British species, 

 8 belong to the Bomhylidse, and some of these may possibly occur with us. 

 (1) Argyramoaha anthrax, Schi'ank, is, however, only recorded from three old Danish 

 suecimens which bear no locality label ; (2) Hemipenthes morio, L., is common in
