iibandant on the I'entlaiul Ilills, the mountains of Perth- 

 shire, Uraemar, Aberdeenuhiiv, luveruess-ihire, .Sutherland- 

 shire, and probablj' other mountain districts, occurring more 

 sparingly in Roxbnrghsliire, Berwickshire, Edinburgh, the 

 Glasgow district and elsewhere to West Koss and the Orkney 

 Isles. So far as is known at present it seems in Ireland to 

 be more confined to cultivated places, but is on record from

 abroad is wider than that of many of its allies, extending 

 through Central Europe, Northern Europe except the most 

 frozen regions, but existing in Iceland ; Northern Italy, 

 Corsica, North-east Turkey, and the Ural Mountain dis- 

 tricts.
