Descends to the coast level, in the Peninsula. 



Ascends to 250 yards, in East Highlands (Dickie). 



Range of mean annual temperature 52 — 44. 



Native. Sylvestral. Plentiful in England ; uncommon 

 in the Highland provinces, and perhaps quite scarce there 

 unless near the coast line. My notes do not show that I 

 ever observed this species in the valleys of the Highlands, 

 many of which have been examined. I possess a sj)eci- 

 men from " Scalpa ", in Orkney, very probably found there 

 by Dr. Gillies. This, and the name mai-ked in the list 

 of Ross iilants, are my only authorities for the two most 

 northern provinces. Professor Dickie assigns to it an 

 elevation of 800 feet, in Aberdeenshire. Not quite certain 

 that it occurs in the Lake province.
