dition a further specimen which is new to Britain, but the 

 relationships and position of which cannot be determined till a 

 maturer specimen has been examined. 



After what we have learned of late respecting the distribu- 

 tion of plants and animals, and the Continental affinities of 

 various Hibernian forms, we may not unnaturally look for 

 some further interesting illustrations from the Emerald Isle. 

 I shall esteem it a favour if correspondents will furnish me 

 with supplies from all parts of the country packed in soft 

 moss. They should be sent alive in tin boxes, the moss being 

 intended to keep them in health. My address is Idle, Bradford, 

 Yorkshire. I may add that it is best to send such packages by 

 Parcels' Post, marked "Naturai, History Specimens only," 

 as the authorities seem to eye them carefully, and more than 

 one valuable consignment has been lost en route.
