June, 



DiPLOPODA. 



The millepede collections also yielded six species. It 

 may be that the plantations here, consisting as they do 

 mostly of conifers (principally Larch), do not harbour so 

 rich and varied a Millepede fauna as would be the case 

 in plantations of deciduous trees. No specimens of Pauro- 

 poda were found. 



lulus albipes C. I.. Koch ( = /. niger Leach). 

 *I. fallax Meinert. 



I. silvarum Meinert ( = /. punctatus Leach.) 



*L pusillus Leach. — This species has only been recorded from four Irish 



counties previously. 

 ♦Blaniulus guttulatus Bosc. 

 » B. fuscus am Stein. 



Symphyla. 



Tw^o species of this class were taken : — 



♦Scutigerella immaculata (Newport). — This species had previously been 

 taken in five Irish counties, the first recorded being that by Prof. 

 Carpenter, from West Galway under the name Scolopendrella im- 

 maculata. 



*S. biscutata Bagnall. — This constitutes the first record for this species 

 from Ireland. It has been taken in a few localities in the north of 

 England and in Scotland, and is unknown elsewhere. The specimen 

 has been deposited in the National Museum, Dublin. 



In the above lists * prefixed to a species denotes a new 

 county record. 



The finding of a few plants of Asplenium marinum at 

 Carlingford is the first definite record for this fern from 

 Co. Louth.
