ISiiice the appearance in the pages ot" this Magazine of Mr. Verrall's annotated list of Tipulidcs, little information concerning the distribution of the group has been made public. Many of the species were at that time known only from localities in England or from old collections, and as not a few of the species which occur in this district are still unrecorded from Scotland, an addition to the records may be acceptable to those interested in the group. All the species here noted have been taken during the past four years, and are extracted from a list, just completed, which I have drawn up for the "Handbook on the Fauna and Flora of Clyde," now being printed by the local sub-coinmittee of the British Association. The list comprises 133 species, and includes four which, so far as I have been able to ascertain, have not been recorded as British, viz., Goniomijia connexa, Lw. ; Pachyrrhina hmulicornis, Schum. ; Tipula Wimiertzii, Egg., and T. montium, Egg. The localities and other particulars given in the list are, of course, too long to be inserted here, and in the following extract I merely indicate the distribution of the species. The nomenclature is that of Mr. Verrall's " List of British Diptera'' (188S). Dixa maculata, Lw. ; D. nebulosa, Lw., frequent. Ptychoptera contaminata, L. ; P. paludosa, Mg. ; P. scutellaris, iMg., I'are ; P. laciistris, Mg. ; P. albimana, F., frequent. Limnobia quadrinotata, Mg. ; L. Jtavijies, F. ; L. fripunctata, F., rare ; L. bifasciata, Schum. ; L. trivittata, Schum. ; L. macrosilffina, Sclium., frequent ; L. mtheculosa, Mg.. very common. Dlcranomyia aquosa,Yev. ; D. pilipennis, Egg. ; D. sp. 1 (an ochreous species) ; D. sp. ? (probably a variety of D. sericata, Mg.) ; Z). stigmatica, Mg. ; D. didyma, Mg. ; JJ. niorio, F. ; D. ornatn, Mg., all more or less rare ; D. dumetorum, Mg., frequent ; D. modesta, Mg. ; D. chorea, Mg.
