Native. Pascual, Ericetal. Said to be frequent about 

 Glasgow, and hence probably to be found in the West 

 Highland province, although I can adduce no i^ositive 

 testimony to this point, from my own notes or compila- 

 tions. In the Floras of Moray and Aberdeen single loca- 

 lities only are indicated for C. prsecox, but it is said to be 

 frequent ui Forfarshire. The Flora of Shetland has it 

 " common " in those isles ; and Dr. NeiU and Mr. Syme 

 both report it from Orkney. I think to have seen it so 

 high as 800 yards in the East Highlands ; but as some 

 uncertainty attaches to this altitude, the species is not 

 indicated up to the midarctic zone at present.
