Longicorn at Poyntzpass. 
A fine specimen of Rhagium hifasciatum Fab., was given me on June 
23rd by Miss M. T. Alexander, who had found it sitting on the window 
sill of the library in Acton House. This is the second record of a longicorn 
from County Armagh, the other being my own of Pogonochaerus hidcnta- 
tus Thorus, at Loughgall. There are plenty of fir trees about here, but 
the remarkable thing is that so conspicuous a beetle should have escaped 
notice.

Notes on Irish Myriapoda — A Correction. 
I regret to say that the record in m}^ paper {ante, p. 130), of Juhts scandi- 
navicus, Latzel, as new to Ireland, was an error. /. scandinavicus is 
synonymous with /. lugitlifcr, Latzel-Verhoeff, and I had already recorded 
it under the latter name in the Clare Island Survey reports.

a large herd is protected under natural conditions.
