igir- Jones. — Notes of certain Mollusca from Glengarriff. 139 



P. nitidum was only obtained in Little Lough Avaul, the nearer of 

 the two small lakes to Glengarriff, and was not plentiful. 



P. obtusale. — A very oval form of this species was found sparingly 

 in a peaty pool on the road to Loughmore. 



P. SteenbuchI was found very abundantly in a small wayside pool 

 in the Coomerkane valley. This pool was not more than six feet 

 square, and contained besides the Pisidia, a quantity of algae and 

 innumerable tadpoles. 



P. Lilljeborgi. — This species was found abundantly at Loughmore. 



P. casertanum. — This species occurred with the last-mentioned at 

 Loughmore, but was not common. 



All the above species were found in the county division 

 known as West Cork, except Limnaea prcBtenuis and 

 Pisidium hibernicum which were taken in South Kerry. 

 P. obtusale, P. Lilljeborgi and P, Steenbuchi have not 

 previously been noted from West Cork. P. Lilljeborgi has 

 only been previously found in the North-west of Ireland 

 and P. Steenbuchi not nearer than County Clare.

A SECOND LIST OF COLEOPTERA FROM THE 



CO. MEATH. 



BY G. W. NICHOLSON, M.A., M.D., F.E.S. 



I SPENT the greater part of September, 1910, collecting 

 Coleoptera at Balrath, Co. Meath ; during part of the time 

 I had the benefit of Mr. Donisthorpe's company. Although 

 the weather was, on the whole, good, beetles were very 

 scarce indeed, scarcer even than, they were the year before. 



We, however, succeeded in making three additions to 

 the Irish list. These are : — 



Gyrophaena nana, Pk. — A single female at the bottom 

 of a hay stack. 



Galerucella pusilla, Weise. — A few specimens swept 

 off a patch of Ly thrum on the " home-bog." Hunt as we 

 would, we could find it nowhere else. 



LoNGiTARSUS CASTANEus, Duft. — One by general 

 sweeping on the " home-bog."
