1915 Foster. — NaUiral History Note^ from Carli?igford. 103 



or less pronounced yellow markings, but bright and dull yellow speci- 

 mens were not uncommon, and a few red-coloured specimens were 

 noted. 



Oniscus asellus Linn. — Extremely common everywhere. Numerous 

 specimens of the " butter-scotch " variety were seen. 



Porcellio scaber Latreille. — Very common, but not so numerous as the 

 preceding species except in situations a little above high -tide mark, 

 where large colonies existed entirely composed of this species. 



P. pictus Brandt. — Only one specimen of this species was noted, at the 

 base of King John's Castle, where it had previously been obtained. 



Armadillidium vulgare Latreille.— With the exception of Oniscus asellus, 

 probably the most numerous Woodlouse in the neighbourhood of 

 Carlingford. An estimate of some of the large communal colonies 

 would probably yield the following proportion — Ph. muscorum 6, 

 O. asellus 60, P. scaber 20, and A. vulgare 40 ; and if the situation 

 were sufficiently damp perhaps T. pusillus 20 and T. pygmcBus 3 or 4 

 would be included. 



Araneida. 



Mr. D. R. Pack Beresford has given me the following 

 list of the Spiders collected at Carlingford : — 



* Amaurobius fenestralis Stroem. * Walckenaera acuminata Bl. 



* Lycosa ruricola de G. Textrix denticulata Oliv. 



* Stemonyphantes lineata Linn. Bathyphantes concolor Wid. 



* Harpactes Hombergii Scop. Drassus lapidosus Koch. 

 Pachygnatha de Geeri Sund. 



Phalangidea. 

 Only two species of Harvestmen were obtained : — 

 Nemastoma lugubre O.F.M. Platybunus corniger Herm. 



Chilopoda. 



Six species of Centipedes were obtained, and it is strange 

 that Lithohiiis variegatus Leach — a species apparently 

 elsewhere common in Ireland — was not seen at Carlingford. 



*Lithobius forflcatus (Linn.). 



*L. crassipes L. Koch. — This species had only been previously recorded 



from three Irish counties. 

 *L. glabratus C. L. Koch (=L. melanopSy Newport). 

 Geophilus longieornis Leach { = G. fiavus, de Geer.). 

 *G. proximus C. L. Koch. 

 *G. truncorum Meinert.
