J909- Pack-Berksford and Kostkr.— WoodlUc in Ireland. 93 



The number of species of Woodlice recorded from Ireland 

 now amounts to 23 ; the following 6 species having been added 

 durincf the vear : — 



Eluma piiypuvasccns, Budde-Lund, 7. A'.; vol. xvii., p. 255. 



Tric/wmscus pygmcsus, Sars, ,, ,. ,, ,, 5^* 



Trichonisciis Siehhingi, Patience, ;, ,; xviii., ,, 43. 



HaplopihdljUKs dajiicus, Budde-J^iMid. .. ,, ,, ;, 44- 



Philoscia Couchii, Kinahan, ,, ,, xvii., ,, 206. 



Armadillidii(}}i nasaluiiu Budde-Lund, ,, .,. xviii., „ 54- 

 This last species had beeri erroneously recorded as .1. pictmn, 

 Brandt, {cit., vol. xvii., p. 135). 



Besides these new records we ma}- also mention the capture 

 of some of our rarer species in the following localities, viz. : — 

 Trichonisciis voseiis at Portumna, North Tipperar}- (R.Ll-P.) ; 

 T. vividiis near Goresbridge, Kilkenny (D.R.P.-B.) ; Haplopthal- 

 miis danicus at Fenagh, Carlow (D.R.P.-B.) ; //. Mcngii at 

 Giasnevin, Dublin (R.S.B.), and on the Hill of Howth, Co. 

 Dublin (D.R.P.-B.) ; Plaiyaytlinis HoffincDniscggii near Gores- 

 bridge, Kilkenny (D.R.P. B.) ; PovceUio picfits, Goresbridge, 

 Kilkenny (D.R.P.-B.), Attymon, Galway (R.\V.), Loughgilly, 

 Armagh, Carlingford and Omeath, Louth; and Hillsborough, 

 Down (X.H.F.) : Metoponorthiis pviiinosiis from Old P^orge, 

 Antrim (R.W.), and Hillsborough, Down (N.H.P'.) ; Cylisticus 

 convexiis, Belfast, Antrim (R.W.) : Ballinafeigh, Down (J.N.M.) ; 

 and Hillsborough, Down (N.H.F.). 



One of the most ctirious facts which our enquiry has so far 

 brottght to light is the apparent absence of ArmadAllidium 

 vulgarc from the north and west of Ireland. This species, 

 which is so common in the south, had not, till last year, been 

 recorded from any county north of Dublin ; whilst it has not 

 yet been found in Kerry, Clare, or Limerick, though it will 

 probably turn up there. N.H.F. found this species very 

 abundant at Carlingford, Louth, but the only record for Ulster 

 is the capture of a single specimen at Portaferry, Down, by 

 J. X. Milne. 



We have to thank our several correspondents for their 

 assistance in sending us specimens, and trust that the publica- 

 tion of this paper will encourage them and others to collect 

 and send us more of these animals.
