trations of British Entomology, also lent his aid in the in- 
vestigation, and has kindly drawn up descriptions of the 
new species. 
I cannot conclude without acknowledging the obligations 
I owe to Professor Jameson, for the facilities of access 
which he has afforded me, with his usual zeal for the ad- 
vancement of Natural History, to such means of informa- 
tion as are attainable in this part of the country. Sir Pa- 
trick Walker has furnished me with a variety of scarce 
insects, the result of several years assiduous collecting in 
the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. I am indebted in a 
more particular manner to James Wilson, Esq., whose as- 
sistance I cannot appreciate too highly, from his extensive 
acquaintance with the subject, nor acknowledge too grate- 
fully, for the kindness and liberality with which it has been 
bestowed.

the southern or western parts of Scotland. May — July.
