DIPTERA SCOTICA : II. INVERNESS-SHIRE 19
more than a single record referring to the present county,
although I have examined the more important entomological
and other magazines from the years 1831 to 1899 inclusive!
The record in question is that referring to the Gall-midge,
Hormomyia juniperina, L. Galls of this species on branches
of the common juniper were exhibited by Professor Thomas
King at a meeting of the Glasgow Natural History Society
on the 3Oth September 1890, and were stated to have been
obtained at Boat of Garten.
For the present list of 173 species
I am much indebted
to my friends Mr. Wm. Evans, Mr. L. W. Hinxman, Mr.
Wm. Eagle Clarke, the Rev. E. N. Bloomfield, and above
all, Lieut.-Col. J. W. Yerbury, to all of whom I here tender
my grateful thanks. The interesting and well-preserved collections
formed by the last-named gentleman form indeed the
"backbone" of the present contribution, and I am glad to have
the present opportunity of publicly acknowledging the debt
under which he has placed me through his great generosity.
All the specimens mentioned in the present paper under
his name have been presented by him to the Edinburgh
Museum, and hence have been examined by me. Since the
list was made up, a further consignment, containing many
interesting additions, has been received from the same
source, and these will form a valuable supplement
published later.
