72 Canon A. M. Norman on 



look after the much neglected woodlice. Only one naturalist 

 in our islands has ever worked at them, and that was the late 

 Professor Kinahan, of Dublin, and in his case death pre- 

 maturely cut him off when he had only for a short time 

 investigated this group. 



Dr. Scharff (6) has lately published a list of the Irish, and, 

 indeed, of all British species known to him ; but Mr. Stebbing 

 is the only naturalist who has increased Kinahan'a record. 

 He has added three species ; in the following notes I include 

 a fourth. 



I only repeat here in exceptional cases localities which are 

 given by Kinahan or Bate and Westwood. 



Ligia oceara'ca, Linne. 



I have found this species to be generally distributed round 

 our coasts from Shetland to Cornwall.
