Neuraphes angulatus, Mull., in Scotland. - On the afternoon of October 25th. 

 I captured two specimens of this species by cutting tufts on a wooded bank at 

 Hawthornden. I can find no previous record of its occvirrence in Scotland. 

 With it I found Choleva anisotomoides, Spence (not uncommonly); a few speci- 

 mens of C. wilkini, Spence ; and a couple of C. spadicea, Sturm. This latter has 

 only been recorded from two or three Scottish localities. Phlwobium clypeatum, 

 Mull., was in some numbers. -T. Hudson Beare : November 15th, 1913. 



Trypodendron domesticum, L., and Phlozophthorus rhododaetylus, Marsh., in 

 Forfarshire.— On November 1st I found, in the neighbourhood of Careston, 

 numerous galleries of T. domesticum in some dead beech trees which were still 

 standing. The timber was fairly sound and very dry. On the same day, near 

 Maisondieu Farm, Brechin, I came across P. rhododaetylus on whin and broom 

 stems, and secured both larva? and beetles. - J. W. Munbo, Natural History 

 Department, Aberdeen University : November 8th, 191.3. 



Phlceophthorus rhododaetylus, Marsh., in Aberdeenshire. —This beetle is very 

 plentiful on whin and broom stems along the Eiver Dee, near Bieldside. On 

 November 5th I met with it in great numbers in this district. —J. W. Munbo. 



Crypt or ■rhynchus lapathi, L., in Forfarshire. - In my note on C. lapathi 

 (antea, xlix, p. 257) I omitted to record its occurrence in Forfarshire. In April 

 I found its frass and gallei"ies on willows growing on the banks of the Esk and 

 the Crook at their junction near Stracathro. At the time I had no leisure to 

 search for the weevil. -J. W. Munbo. 



Tinea tedella, CI., in Aberdeenshire. - This moth is proving harmful to young 

 spruce trees in Haylehead Woods near Aberdeen. The larva eats into the 

 needles at the tips of the side-shoots and sometimes spins them together. — 

 J. W. Munbo. 



Eriophyes tristriatus, var. erineum, Nal., in Forfarshire. — On October 28th 

 I found galls of this Acarid on the leaves of a walnut tree in the Den Nursery, 

 Brechin. It is not common in the north. — J. W. Munbo. 



An aberration of Colias edusa, F., $ . — Among a number of Colias edusa 

 taken by me on August 21st in the lucerne-patches on the cliffs near East- 

 church, Isle of Sheppey, there is one aberration of such singular beauty that, 

 at the suggestion of my friend Mr. G. T. Porritt, I am tempted to give a 

 description of it. 



The specimen is a ? of full size, apparently only just emerged from the 

 pupa. The fore-wings are of the normal bright saffron-orange colour, with less 

 than the usual suffusion of black scales at the base ; the black border, which is 

 rather more angulated internally than in most examples, has the nervures in
