colony consisted of both species, but apparently the greater 

 number were Tree-Sparrows. In Woodlice nothing new to the 

 district was seen, but it is worthy of note that a large colony of 

 one of our rarer species, Haplophthalmus mengii, was observed in 

 Murlough Bay. Nine species of Millepedes were taken, of which 

 one, lulus teutonicus Pocock, is new to Co. Antrim ; the Centi- 

 pede collection contained six species, two of these, Lithobius 

 borealis Meinert and L. duboscqui Brol., are additions to the 

 Antrim fauna. Mr. R. S. Bagnall reports that the Symphylla col- 

 lection contained four species — Scutigerella immacalata (Newport), 

 S. biscutata Bagnall, S. spintpes Bagnall (new to Antrim), and 

 Scolopendrellopsis subnuda (Hansen) (new to Ireland). 



As there had been a long period of dry weather followed by 

 heavy rains previous to our visit, the conditions were not 

 favourable for the collecting of Mycetozoa (Myxomycetes) — the 

 rain probably washing away the delicate sporangia. Previously 

 some twelve species of this group had been recorded from the 

 district, and, as will be seen by the subjoined list, five additional 

 species were obtained. These were submitted to Miss Lister, 

 F.L.S., whom we have to thank for her kindness in examining 

 them. The woods at Murlough Bay and Plantation Port proved 

 most productive, Glenshesk woods being disappointing. The 

 following list contains all the species obtained — Ceratiomyxa 

 fruticulosa Macbr., from Glenshesk, Plantation Port, and Kinbane; 

 PhyscCrum nutans Pers., from Glenshesk ; Comatricha nigra 

 Schroeter var. laxa, from Plantation Port ; C. laxa Rost., from 

 Glenshesk ; C. typhoides Rost., from Plantation Port ; Enerthenema 

 papillatum Rost., from Murlough Bay ; Reticularia Lycoperdon 

 Bull., from Murlough Bay ; Lycogola epidendrum Fries, from 

 Glenshesk and Murlough Bay ; Trichia decipiens Macbr., from 

 Murlough Bay ; Arcyria incarnata Pers., from Glenshesk, 

 Murlough Bay, and Plantation Port ; and A. nutans Grev., from 

 Murlough Bay and Plantation Port. Of the above species the 

 following are new to the district — Physarum nutans, Comatricha 

 nigra, C. typhoides, C. laxa and Enerthenema papillatum.
