Naturally, I was anxious to "work up" this interesting find, but having 

 to leave the district just about that time I was unable to do anvthino- 

 further. On my return in 1014 I succeeded in finding two female 

 examples, under stones at a spot some distance from the river and quite 

 a mile from where the first was procured. In each case the specimens 

 were found in company with parumpunctatus, which, at first sight, is 



so similar that it has prompted me to make di-a wings, placing saJil- 

 hergi (2) between farumpunctatus F. (1) and ericeti Panz. (3) for 

 comparison. 



Late in Maj'-, about 53 years ago, Mr. Bishop met with the insect in 

 some numbers on the edge of a sandy bank on the north side of the Clyde 

 a few 3^ards west of Dunglass Castle, It was determined by the late 

 Mr. Eye as a variety of A. parumpunctatus. A few specimens were 

 subsequently taken by Mr. Henderson, and I understand they are now in 

 Dr. Sharp's collection. 



These appear to be the only occasions on which A. sahlhergi has 

 been found in the British Isles previous to the present record. 



I have to express m}'" indebtedness to Mr. T. G. Bishop and Mr, G. 

 C. Champion for their kind assistance in the identification of this species.
