ing on the Forest of Dartmoor. The first specimen was captured 

 by Dr. Leach near Tavistock and is in the British Museum. 

 It was subsequently found near Holsworthy and Ashburton. 

 Four or five individuals were taken from under the moss and 

 lichens growing on the lower part of the trunks of trees in the 

 woods at Bickleigh Vale, Devonshire, by the Rev. Mr. Hoare of 

 Devonport, two of which are unfortunately lost to this country. 

 The only example which has occurred in the vicinity of the 

 metropolis, as far as I am aware, is in the collection of W. Stan- 

 hope Taylor, Esq., who himself found it in a stable at Croydon.
