SHORT NOTES 123 
Mr. Dahlstedt records T. spectabile from Norway, Sweden, 
Faeroes, Iceland, Greenland, and Scotland. Besides in Shetland, it 
has been found on St. Kilda (O. Paulsen); and as both of these re- 
cords are subsequent to 1905, it evidently occurs in other Scottish 
counties. e var. maculiferum is the much more common form 
in Shetland, and is also the St. Kilda form. Elsewhere this variety 
is only recorded from the Faeroes.
