464 NOTES ON SOME PAUROPODA FROM THE 



This is the largest known species of the order, measuring 

 from i'5 to 1*7 mm. One evening early in May, 1909, I 

 found several examples under the loose bark of an old and 

 fallen willow lying in a damp spot in a dene between 

 Washington and Hylton, Co. Durham. 



A second species, Stylopauropus pnhescens Hansen, is 

 described from Marburg, Hesse (Germany). It is a small 

 animal, and the characters given by Hansen in his conspectus 

 of the species are particularly valuable and good ones. 



British Distribution. — Near London (Lubbock) ; and in 

 a dene on the Wear between Washington and Hylton, Co, 

 Durham, May, 1909. 



Distribution. — Evidently widely distributed in Central 

 and Southern Europe.
