5 88 CPk>°- b.n.f.c, 



the second meeting, on 12th March, which, by kind permission of 

 the Vice-Chancellor of Queen's University, was held in the 

 Biological Theatre of the University, Mr R. H. Whitehouse, 

 M.Sc, gave an instructive lecture on " The Structure and Life- 

 History of Sea Squirts.'' On 2nd April Mr. Joseph Maxwell, J.P., 

 spoke on " Rotifers : where and how to find them and how to 

 mount them." 



Distributional work continues to receive the attention of the 

 members of the Section. Among the most important records of 

 the year may be mentioned the finding of Limax cinereo-niger in 

 Drumbo Glen, Co. Down, this being the first record of this Slug 

 from the county : whilst Helix lamellata was discovered in Corry's 

 Glen, Hillsborough, constituting a third locality for this Mollusk 

 in Co. Down. Perhaps the most interesting find of the year 

 consisted in the discovery of the False Scorpion, Obisium lubricum, 

 in Corry's Glen, Hillsborough, and the Centipede, Lithobius 

 crassipes, at Dungiven, Co. Derry, constituting two additions to 

 the Irish fauna. Another False Scorpion, Obisium cambridgi, 

 previously only known in Ireland from the counties of Cork and 

 Kerry, was obtained at Benevenagh, Co. Derry. Numerous new 

 county records for False Scorpions and Myriopods have been 

 obtained, and the additions to the Woodlice distributional records 

 were published in the Irish Naturalist for March, 1913.
