SOME RECORDS FOR IRISH MYCETOZOA. 



BY MARGARET W. REA AND MARGARITA D. STELFOX. 



In her report on the M3\^etozoa of the Clare Island Survey, 

 Miss G. Lister, F.L.S., included a list of all the species 

 found in Ireland up to that date. Other papers have 

 appeared since giving additional records for the Counties 

 of Kerr\',' Sligo, Leitrim, Fermanagh and Cavan.^ 



As the result of gatherings made during the last two 

 years we have been able to compile the following list which 

 we think may be of interest to other workers. 



We have to thank Miss Lister for her extreme kindness 

 in examining and identif3/ing practically all our material, 

 and Messrs. E. Armstrong, A. M'l. Cleland, Nevin H. 

 Foster, A. W. Stelfox, J. A. S. Stendall and Professor 

 Yapp, for contributing specimens found by them. 



The following contractions are used for the names of 

 county divisions : — AX., Antrim ; DO., Down ; MO., 

 Monaghan ; XT., Xortli Tipperary ; TY., Tyrone ; WD., 

 West Donegal. 



Thirteen species which have not been recorded previously 

 from Ireland are marked with an asterisk. 



The letter R in brackets following any locality signifies 



that the specimen was collected by M. W. Rea, and S that 



the specimen was obtained by J\L D. Stelfox, or A. W. 



Stelfox.
