Two of the above, Lamyctes fulvicomis and Sclwndyla suhmarina, have not 

 been previously recorded from Ireland. The former seems to be attached to 

 the banks of streams, and is said to have the power of remaining under water 

 for some time. It has been found in Europe, north Africa, and North 

 America. The latter is a denizen of the sea-shore, in this habit resembling 

 Linotaenia maritima, along with which it was taken by Mr. Kew in rock- 

 crannies between tide-marks. It has occurred in Great Britain and Italy. 



I have thought it advantageous to subjoin a full list of the Irish Myriapoda 

 to serve as a starting-point for future workers. To facilitate reference I am 

 giving, under counties, all the localities recorded, with names of the authors 

 of the papers in which the records occur, full reference to which will be 

 found in the Bibliography appended. 



I have used the following letters to indicate the authors' names : — 



B.— H. W. Brolemann. S.— C. M. Selbie. 



C. — G. H. Carpenter. T. — B. Templetoii. 



P.— B. I. Pocock.
