as Irish (confirming former more doubtful records)." The 

 Fermoy plant differs considerably, and is placed— "pro- 

 visionally under Gri^ithiamis as a new form or variety. A very 

 interesting plant, calling for further study."

 says — "I write * tereticauHs, P. J, Muell,' here only by way of 

 suggestion, and rather as suggesting affinity than identity. 

 We have no definite knowledge of Muellers plant, and Mr. 

 Linton's Sprowston specimens are not in all particulars like 

 this." This is the second time that Co. Cork specimens have 

 been doubtfull}' referred to R. tereticaiilis.

NOTES. 



ZOOLOGY. 



Trichoniscus pygmseus, Sars, a Woodlouse new to Ireland. 



Under an old Ijox lying in my garden 1 found a colony of Trichoniscus 

 ptisillus, but among them were a few Isopods of smaller size and much 

 lighter colour. Being unable to reconcile their characteristics with 

 those of any of the published British species, I submitted them to Dr. 

 Scharff, who pronounces them to be Trichoniscus pygriiaiis, a species 

 which has not hithei to been observed in Ireland. Until quite recentl}- 

 this species was only known from a single locality in the vicinity of 

 Christiania (Norway), but it has lately been discovered in the neighbour- 

 hoods of Glasgow and Xcwcastle-on-Tyne.
