Mr. C. M. Selbie on 



sometimes wanting in normal specimens. The tooth e near 

 the middle of the branch is rather blunt and not very easily- 

 seen, owing to its being situated at the point where the 

 thickening of the branch beo-'ms. 



Fiff. 1. 



The variety, which I propose to call P. cori'aceus, var. 

 securiformis, in reference to the shape of the seminal branch, 

 is at present represented by a single specimen taken on a log 

 of wood at Murlough Bay, Antrim. 



I am glad to have this opportunity of expressing my grati- 

 tude to Dr. H. W. Brolemann, of Pan, for valuable informa- 

 tion with regard to the varieties of P. coriaceus found in 

 Fiance. 



A Peculiar Specimen of Stigmatogaster subterraneus, Leach. 



I am indebted to Prof. Carpenter, of the Royal College of 

 Science, Dublin, for the opportunity of describing this 

 specimen, which was sent to him recently with some others 

 from Kilfinane, in Limerick, where they were found in 

 potatoes.
