154 = _ THE ZOOLOGIST. 
The English specimens, on the capture of which Mr. Cum- 
mings is to be congratulated, were taken on the sands under 
seaweed, &ec., at the estuary of the Taw and Torridge, Devon- 
shire, and the fact that they occurred in Devonshire (in which 
county we find the South HKuropean forms—Philoscia couchii, 
’ Kin., Metoponorthus cingendus, Kin., and Armadillidium nasatum, 
B.-L.), and in a precisely similar habitat as the French ex- 
amples, goes to prove, I think, that A. album is an indigenous 
form, and not, as Dollfus suggests, a species probably intro- 
duced. A systematic search in the south-western counties of 
England, after a study of the distribution of species such as 
those just mentioned, will almost certainly bring further inte- 
resting Woodlice to light, and add considerably to our knowledge 
of the British Terrestrial Isopoda, in which group a large amount 
of work has already been achieved since the publication of Messrs. 
Webb and Sillem’s ‘ British Woodlice’ in 1906. So far as I am 
aware there are no further records of A. album to be noted.
