To those who wish to send, me wood-lice for identification, I 

 would urge the importance of putting them at once into spirit. 

 The bottle should contain a little cotton-wool to prevent the 

 specimens from injury by being shaken about.

Our New Cover. — We would draw the attention of our readers to the 

 new cover which is issued with the present number, and which will in the 

 future replace the plainer wrapper that heretofore enclosed the Irish 

 Naturalist. This artistic and appropriate design is the work and the gift 

 of Mr. John Vinycomb, m.r.i.a., ex-President Belfast Naturalists' Field 

 Club, whose name is well known in artistic circles, especially in connec- 

 tion with heraldic art. It will be observed that the various items of the 

 design are essentially representative of Irish Natural History, and that 

 they are, moreover, figured with strictly scientific accuracy. The skull 

 and antlers of the Irish Elk are carefully reproduced from a fine specimen 

 in the Science and Art Museum, Dublin ; the plant whose blossoms are 

 gracefully interwoven with the initial letter of the title is Saxifraga geum 

 (which is in Britain confined to S.W. Ireland), drawn from a specimen 

 collected in Co. Cork by Mr. Praeger ; the mollusc which crawls along 

 the bottom of the page is recognisable at a glance as the celebrated Kerry 

 Slug (Geomalaats maculosus), from a sketch from life by Dr. Scharff; and 

 the hovering insect is the Galway Burnet Moth {Zygana nubigena), from a 

 drawing by Mr. Carpenter : in Britain it is found only in Galway and the 

 Scottish Highlands. The title of the magazine, picked out in Celtic 

 characters, appropriately completes the design.
