137 131 82 



Of the 210 species enumerated, it will be seen that 137 have 

 been observed in the Orkneys, 131 in the Hebrides, and 82 in 

 Shetland. Forty-seven s^jecies occur in Orkney which have not 

 yet been recorded from either the Hebrides or Shetland. The 

 same number of species found in the Hebrides have not, so far, 

 been observed in Orkney or the Shetlands ; while in the last- 

 named islands 18 species occur which have not hitherto been 

 detected in the Orkneys or Hebrides. 



Forty-one species have representatives in each group of 

 islands. Thirty-four species are common to the Hebrides and 

 Orkneys, but are not known to occur in Shetland. Sixteen 

 species found in Orkney and Shetland have not been noticed in 

 the Hebrides, and eight found both in Shetland and the Hebrides 

 have not been met with in Orkney. 



In his paper on " The Lepidoptera of Orkney, Shetland, and 

 the Outer Hebrides,"* Dr. White gives the number of species as 

 175, so that the increment, up to 1887, is 35. Probably our 

 knowledge of the lepidopterous fauna of the islands under 

 consideration is still far from complete. Further exploration 

 and careful investigation may possibly add many other species 

 to the list given above.
