  Some 
  Irish 
  Collemhola. 
  

  

  During 
  the 
  last 
  two 
  years 
  I 
  have 
  made 
  three 
  visits 
  to 
  

   Ireland, 
  and 
  on 
  each 
  occasion 
  have 
  collected 
  some 
  springtails, 
  

   tiiough 
  in 
  the 
  limited 
  time 
  at 
  my 
  disposal 
  I 
  did 
  not 
  have 
  

   opportunity 
  to 
  search 
  for 
  them 
  as 
  much 
  as 
  I 
  wonld 
  have 
  

   liked. 
  A 
  few 
  notes, 
  however, 
  may 
  be 
  useful 
  in 
  giving 
  fresh 
  

   localities 
  for 
  the 
  known 
  species 
  and 
  to 
  place 
  on 
  record 
  the 
  

   ])resence 
  in 
  Ireland 
  of 
  at 
  least 
  four 
  species 
  new 
  to 
  the 
  

   cou?itry, 
  viz. 
  Acliorutcs 
  manuhriali^, 
  Tullbergia 
  kraushaueri, 
  

   lepidocyrtus 
  albus, 
  and 
  Megcdothorax 
  minimus. 
  The 
  list 
  of 
  

   Irish 
  species 
  taken 
  by 
  me 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  larger 
  but 
  for 
  the 
  

   fact 
  that 
  I 
  had 
  the 
  misfortune 
  to 
  break 
  a 
  tube 
  in 
  crossing- 
  

   back 
  to 
  England 
  after 
  my 
  iirst 
  visit, 
  and 
  the 
  contents 
  were 
  

   lost. 
  The 
  collections 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  at 
  the 
  following 
  

   places: 
  — 
  Black' 
  ock, 
  Co.

   Gilford, 
  Co. 
  Down; 
  and 
  Dundonald, 
  Co.

  All 
  the 
  

   species 
  have 
  been 
  collected 
  by

  The

  adopted 
  is 
  one 
  which, 
  in 
  the 
  main, 
  has 
  been 
  

   accepted

  authors 
  this

  Dr.

  has 
  recently 
  

   proposed 
  a
