1870.) ol 
Crambus and Melia were the only genera of Crambites that had any 
representatives. Of the first-named, eight species were more or less 
abundant, the scarcest being pascuwellus—not a common species in 
Scotland, as far as my experience goes. MJargazitellus was very common 
in marshy places in woods on the hills, and pinetel/us not uncommon on 
dry banks. Perlellus was very abundant and very local among bracken 
in a sandy meadow, and varied excessively both in size and coloration ; 
most of the examples I assigned to Warringtonellus, but Mr. Doubleday 
says that they are all perlellus. The species I recorded in my notes on 
Ross-shire Lepidoptera as Warringtonellus must therefore be referred 
to perlellus. 
Of the Tortrices I took a good many species, some of which I 
have not yet determined. Peronea caledoniana, Mixodia Schulziana, 
and palustrana, were all tolerably common. Phowxopteryx ramana oc- 
eurred on aspens, and 2. biarcuana among heather. Ephippiphora 
bimaculana abounded in the birch woods, and Pamplusia monticolana in 
marshy ground half-way up Mam Suil, while the variable Lupecilia 
ciliella was common (and as variable as usual) among heather. 
The Tinee that I took still remain untouched, so of them I will 
say no more, Save that I took one specimen of Depressaria ciniflonella, 
and found the larvee of four species near the above-mentioned loch on 
Ben Chearan. One of these was a Nepticula larva, in the leaves of 
Rubus chamemorus. Of this (which is probably the same as one found 
by Wocke in the north of Europe, Finmark), I only found one larva, 
but the empty mines were not veryrare. The other three species were 
found upon Betula nana—a Swammerdamia possibly new (vide Mr. 
Stainton’s remarks in the Annual for 1870, p. 4), a Lithocolletis larva, 
which has produced L. ulmifoliella, and a Nepticula larva, from which 
Mr. Stainton bred betulicola,—the specimens of the latter being rather 
smaller than usual, and therefore possibly the smallest known Lepi- 
dopteron ! 
Coleoptera in Strathglass.—Dr. Sharp found several new species in 
this glen some years ago; and to him I am indebted for kindly giving 
me information regarding the localities of several species. I managed 
to find a few rarities, but probably a very small proportion of what 
would have been found by one knowing more of this order than I do. 
Among my captures (which were obligingly named for me by Mr. 
Bold) are the following, which I believe are worth recording. 
Carabus glabratus, not rare at sugar (C. catenulatus and violaceus 
tormented me awfully, some patches of sugar having no less than ten 
of these wretches at one time). Patrobus assimilis and Bembidium
