The frontal lobe in Armadillidium depressum is very prominent 

 and much recurved. The antennae are fairly 

 long and while the two joints of the flagellum 

 are nearly equal they are together not so long 

 as the last peduncular joint. 



The telson is slightly longer than it is broad 

 at the base, and its sides are incurved. As in 

 A rmadillidium vulgare and A rmadillidium pulchellum 

 the outer divisions of the tail appendages are 

 broader than they are long. 



The body is natter than in the other species 

 and bears tubercles ; its colour is a slate-grey 

 with yellowish markings. The first thoracic 

 segment is well developed and the head appears 

 as if almost completely imbedded in it.

Distribution of Species. There are not sufficient records 

 at present to enable us to draw any conclusions as to the general 

 distribution of Woodlice in the British Isles, but it is hoped that 

 more attention will be given to these creatures, and that before 

 long there may be other material available. 



Conclusion. kS. the beginning it was mentioned that the 

 present work grew out of an investigation into the fauna of 

 Essex, and in order to show what may be expected when places
