I have followed Dr. Latzel in the synonymy of this species. Dr, Leach 
places his /. pulchellus between /. punctatus, Leach, and /. pusillus, Leach, 
both of which have eyes, and in his definition of the genus, says : — " Oculi 
distincti," vide Leach, Zoological Miscellany, vol. iii., 18 17 : — " The 
characters of the genera of the Class Myriapoda, with descriptions of some 
species." 
B. fuscus, Am. Stein. — Acton Wood, in moss, in December. Demoan

lulus luscus, Meinert. — Coolmore, in September. Poj-ntzpass, in garden,

I. fallax, Meinert. — Navan Fort, Armagh (N.H.F.). Coolmore, in Sep- 
tember. Acton Wood, in moss, in November. Dromantine, in moss, 
in January. Canal bank, under stones, in June. Poyntzpass, in garden, 
&c., March, June, November. A common and variable species. 
*I, scandinavius, Latzel.— Acton Wood, in moss, hi November. Dro- 
mantine, in moss, in January. 
I. sabulosus, Linne. — Navan Fort, Armagh, in June (N.H.F. ). 
I. albipes, C. Koch. — Ballyworkan, near Portadown, under logs hi- 
bog, in July. Poyntzpass, in garden, February, March, June, in a beehive 
in March. What it was doing here I cannot imagine. It was on the floor 
of a straw skep, and the bees did not seem to mind its presence. One 
of our commonest and largest species. This species has been identified 
with /. niger. Leach, but Mr. Brolemann says that the latter name has 
been so often used and misused that until Leach's types are examined it is 
impossible to know what species is meant by his name. I have, therefore, 
used C. Koch's name which appears to be accepted for this species on 
the Continent. 
Poyntzpass, Co. Armagh.
