The hish Nahiralht. 
May, 
by the careful examination of moss from selected localities, 
bark, garden refuse, &c., resulted in the discovery of no 
less than six additional Irish species. Some of the others 
are interesting from a distributional point of view, such as 
Melolontha hippocastani, &c. 
I must thank Mr. G. C. Champion, f.z.s., for kindly 
naming all critical species for me, and Mr. J. N. Halbert 
for much useful assistance.
