In the Naturalist, Vol. IL, p. 39, in an account of the proceed- 
ings of the Natural History Society of Glasgow, on Oct. 7, 1851, 
occurs :_—“ Mr. W. Ferguson exhibited a nest of the hornet, 
taken from the roof of an outhouse in Aberdeenshire”. I have 
never seen the hornet in Scotland, and should like much to know 
whether it has been found in this district on any other occasion. 
As the usual habit of the hornet is to nest in holes in the ground, 
there may possibly be some mistake in the record quoted. 
In the Scottish Naturalist (Vol. IV., pp. 10-11), Mr. Cameron 
has enumerated 89 species of sawflies (Tenthredinide), all, ex- 
cept one from Muchalls, taken in Braemar by Drs. Sharp and 
Buchanan White.
