The following is a report on a collection of terrestrial isopods sent 

 to me by Dr. Edward Jacobson, The specimens are all from the 

 island of Java, and were taken during the years 1909 to 1911. They 

 represent several new species, as well as a number of described species. 



The new species are : Cuharis insularis, Toradjia doUfusi^ Philoscia 

 jacohsoni^ Philoscia javanensis^ and Philoscia huddelundi. 



Among the known species, Cubaris 7nurina Brandt has previously 

 been recorded by Dollfus from Java and was noted by Budde-Lund 

 in an unpublished list of terrestrial Isopods from Java, which is given 

 below. PorceUio sundaicus and Porcellio modestus were described 

 by Dollfus in his report on the Isopods from the Dutch East Indies. 



The altitude of the collecting localities is as follows: Semarang, 

 55 meters; Nusa Kambangan, 50 meters; Djocja, 113 meters; Nong- 

 kodjadjar, 1,200 meters; Gunung Gedeh, 1,200 to 1,400 meters. 



Dr. E. Jacobson requested me to mention in this paper that a small 

 collection of Isopoda had formerly been sent by him to the late Dr. 

 G. Budde-Lund (Copenhagen), who left a report on this collection 

 which was, however, not published. 



The collection contained the following species : 



Cuharis murina Brandt, Krakatau, May, 1908, and Bataira, Jan- 

 uary, 1909. 



Nagara cristata (Dollfus), Krakatau, May, 1908. 



Nagara nana Budde-Lund, Semarang, December, 1909. 



Alloniscus hrevis Budde-Lund, Krakatau, May, 1908. 



Setaphora weheri Dollfus, Semarang, December, 1909; Batavia, 

 January, 1909. 



Kisuma papillosa Budde-Lund, new species.^ 



This collection is now in the British Museum but I have not as yet 

 had an opportunity of examining it.
