Lizard, adding “is much less plentiful than in many other 
districts.” The only localities for it in the county known to 
my friend Mr R.S. Anderson, Peebles, are Craigburn Quarry, 
and the Bitch Craigs at the head of Manor, but doubtless 
there are many others. 
As regards East Lothian, I had an opportunity in the 
summer of 1889 of seeing a specimen, which had been 
captured a few days before in the vicinity of Haddington, 
and Dr Hardy informs me it occurs sparingly on the eastern 
confines of that county and Berwickshire, whence, in 1834, 
it was recorded by the minister of Cockburnspath as “ occa- 
sionally seen in the sunny heaths” (“ New Stat. Acc.” of the 
parish, p. 300). Mr A. Hepburn, whose excellent notes 
on East Lothian birds are well known to readers of Mac- 
Gillivray’s classic work on British Ornithology, tells me, 
however, that he never met with it in the county during 
the period he resided at: Whittinghame, close to the Lammer- 
moors. Other correspondents also tell me they have never 
met with it in the county, so we may assume it is far from 
common there. 
In Fifeshire I have noted it on a heath between Thornton 
and Wemyss; and from Mr W. Berwick, Stravithie, 
St Andrews, I learn it is likewise found occasionally in the 
more eastern parts of the county—he mentions Peat Inn, 
and Chesters, near Dunino, as localities where it has been 
captured. Though I have no information on the point, 
I do not doubt it occurs in suitable spots in the western 
section of the county also. At Brankston Grange, a few 
miles to the west of Fife, Mr J. J. Dalgleish captured one 
in 1854, but this is the only one he has ever seen there. 
In the upper, or western, end of the Forth valley, it is, as 
might be expected from the nature of the country, more 
common than in the lowland parts. In April 1892 I dis- 
covered one under a stone near the top of the crag behind 
Callander, and I then ascertained that it was frequently 
seen in that neighbourhood. 
All the specimens I have examined from our district have 
been more or less of the usual greenish-brown colour, but a 
little farther afield, namely at Fearnan, Loch Tay, I captured
