districts 1 and 4, whereby I have been enabled to add some 
species to our lists. 
Mr. Wm. Christie, formerly resident in Aberdeen, gave me 
information of captures made by himself at Banchory in No. 2, 
and in No, 1. 
The list for No. 3 is made up partly from personal observa- 
tions, partly from information supplied to me by Dr. Buchanan 
White and by My. Tait, partly from published records. 
A list of notes and papers published on the insects of Dee 
will be found elsewhere. In the following lists I have borrowed 
in a good many cases from them. 
In the case of common species I have thought it useless to 
give the captor’s name; where very rare, I have inserted the 
captors’ names in districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, save when taken by 
myself; from districts 6 and 7, my sole sources of information 
have been already mentioned. I have excluded from the list all 
species yet doubtful, or of which authentic specimens were not 
seen by myself (or among the Tortices, by Mr. Tait), though a 
very few, eg., Choerocampa Elpenor, and Liparis auriflua, 
which have: occurred only once in towns, may have been 
accidentally introduced. In all such cases, the fact of their hay- 
ing occurred but once is noticed. 
The lists of other orders of insects appended have been made 
up from personal observations chiefly, and are offered here simply 
as a slight contribution to our knowledge. Any assistance will 
* be thankfully received.
