Appendix I. 
Litlwhius microps Meinert, and Liilwbius horealis ^leincrt. 
It may bo an advantage to some workers to have 
descriptions of Lithobins microps and L. horealis at hand. Dr. 
Brolemann very kindly sent us a copy of the original of 
the former and we are indebted to Mrs. Barritt and Mrs. 
Thompson, of Darwen, for substantial help with the rough 
translation of the Danish part of it. The latter is taken 
from Dr. Latzel's study. ^
