148 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Further on is Dall ; and then the great Black Wood of Eannoch, 

 some three miles through. There is a burn also at Dall. Past 

 the Black Wood is Camachgouran, the chief village of the south 

 side of the loch, and much celebrated as a good entomological 

 locality. Here also is a burn ; and near it is Cross Craig Cottage, 

 the residence of Mrs. Ptobertson, of Struan, the proprietress f 

 half the land south of the loch. Years ago this estate is said to 

 have extended from near Glencoe to Struan, but it is now much 

 divided. Having got all this into our mind's-eye, we may be 

 content for the time with the promise that to-morrow we can 

 walk the whole distance, and I can mention as we go some of the 

 insects which we may expect to meet with, from time to time, in 

 the various localities. In a general article of this character it is 

 impossible to give anything like a detailed account of the riches 

 of the various little bits of collecting-ground we shall pass on our 

 walk from Innerhadden to the head of the loch. I will, however, 

 try to give such particulars as may lead collectors to revisit any 

 particular place according to the different species of insects 

 required. 



Arrived at the bridge which crosses the Innerhadden Burn 

 we see to the left a house which used to be the residence of 

 Duncan Stewart, who, when professionally engaged, represented 

 the sheriff of the county, and served such legal instruments as 

 were necessary on the surrounding inhabitants. As these duties 

 were few and far between, he had much time on his hands, and 

 was always willing to take in a lodger or show the visitor over 

 the neighbouring country. As Duncan's (if he still lives there) 

 accommodation is limited, it will be better viewed before engaged. 

 A long day may be spent up this burn, and many mountain spe- 

 cies observed. It bears to the west a little, through Glen Sassun, 

 where, says a legend, there was once a great slaughter of English 

 invaders by the highland natives. Perhaps even greater slaughter 

 has occurred in this wild glen, for several entomologists have 

 from time to time lodged with Duncan at its foot, notably Mr. 

 Thos. Eedle. I never found any rare Macro-Lepidoptera in this 

 locality which I have not taken elsewhere in the district ; but 

 among the stunted bilberry high on the mountain, at the end 

 towards Fortingal, Scoparia alpina and Penthina staintoniana 

 used to occur (June 16), while on the hill-top just west of Duncan 

 Stewart's was good for Euehromia arbutana and E. flammeana
