and infested Corn stalk. 7 & 8 and 9 & 10. Parasite Flies, natural size and 
magnified. 
19. Chlorops taeniopns. No observations. 
20. Aphis granaria. Wheat Aphis. A few species were noticed

Oak cut down on the Brahan estate, near Dingwall, was found to 
contain hundreds of the Caterpillars, from a quarter of an inch to four 
inches long, with empty chrysalis-cases in the bark. 
22. Zeuzera iEsculi. Wood Leopard Moth. This is mentioned by 
Mr. Robert Coupar as very numerous at Craighall, Blairgowrie, many 
empty pupa-cases being observable in young Poplars at the water’s
