One specimen under the bark of beech, on the edge of the first 
wood on the Derwent, nearest Swalwell, in February.—J/. H. 
The specimen, strictly speaking, agrees with P. Cooperi, but 
the three species described by Stephens, appear to be only one, 
with variations created, as in Z'etratoma ancora, by a changeable 
disposition of colouring.—J. H.

In cellars, Newcastle and Gateshead, and on a hot bed at Long 
Benton ; found at all seasons. 
As might be surmised from its haunts, its habits are noctur- 
nal. Unless under the incitement of the summer temperature, 
it rarely ventures out till evening, when it issues forth with 
Latridir, Cryptophagi, and other lovers of gloom. Like them its 
food is mucor. |
