Among the plants the more interesting noted were the Skull- 

 cap, Scutellaria galericulata, the Dog's Mercury, Mercurialis 

 perennis, and /uncus glaucus, the two latter being very plentiful. 

 Twenty-five species of birds were noted at Glaslough — these 

 included the Great-crested Grebe, which nests on the lake. 

 Seven species of Woodlice were observed, one, Armadillidium 

 nasatum, proving new to Co. Monaghan, but this is believed 

 to be an exotic species. Only one species of False Scorpion, 

 Cheridium museorum, was taken, but it likewise is an addition 

 to the fauna of the County. The Myriapod collection contained 

 the following — Lithobius forficatus, L. crassipes, Geophilus 

 truncorum, Stigmatogaster subterraneus, Polydesmus complanatus, 

 Attractasoma polydesmoides, Blaniulus fuscus, lulus luscus, 

 I. silvarum, I. fallax, and I. albipes — eight of these being 

 new records for Co. Monaghan. The Spiders included one 

 species, Macrargus abnormis, which had previously been only 

 once obtained in Ulster. The following seven species of Myce- 

 tozoa were obtained, all of them being new to Co. Monaghan — 

 Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa Macbr., Physarum nutans Pers., Fuligo 

 septica Gmelin, Comatricha typhoides Rost, Trichia decipiens 

 Macbr., Arcyria incarnata Pers., and A. denudata Sheldon, 

 Miss Lister has kindly confirmed the naming of these specimens.
