Genus Templetonia, Lubbock. 



Templetonia nitida (Tempi). 



Templetonia cry stalUna, Lubbock's "Monograpb." 



Occurs sparingly under stones, boards, etc., embedded in 

 or lying on damp earth, doubtless in most parts of the 

 district, but as a rule it is not common. Eanges throughout 

 Europe.

Genus Isotoma, Bourlet. 

 Isotoma viridis, Bourl. 



Isotoma anglicana + l I. viridis and /. viatica^ Lubbock's " Monograph." 



[Plate VII. Fig. 17.] 



Throughout the entire district, and throughout the year, 

 this rather variable species is present in abundance, dozens 

 being often found together in such situations as the under 

 side of a piece of old fence-rail, or a half-rotten turnip lying 

 on damp grass or earth. The typical dark, sooty, or purplish- 

 green form is the prevalent one, but much greener examples 

 and also yellowish-brown ones are by no means uncommon ; 

 others much resembling the darker of Schott's figures of the 

 var. rvparia, ISTic, likewise occur occasionally. The species 

 ranges from Spitzbergen and Siberia to the Tyrol, France, 

 and Ireland, occurring also in North America.
