May and June, when the sweeping-net and water-net could be 
used with advantage, the above list would be greatly enlarged, 
and there is every probabilit) of good species been found in 
a locality of the sort.

WOODLICE IN CO. CARLOW. 
BY DENIS R. PACK-BERKSFORD, D.I.., M.R.I.A. 
In the Irish Naturalist^ vol. iv., p. 319, Dr. Scharfif gives a list 
of Woodlice taken by him at Borris in this county. I now 
give a list of those I have taken here, which includes four 
species not previously recorded from this part of Ireland. 
They were all taken round my house with the exception 
of Trichoniscus vividus, which I found on the banks of the 
River Slaney, about ten miles from here, and about eighteen 
miles from Borris, where it was found by Dr. Scharff in 1895. 
Trichoniscus puslllusy Brandt. — Common everywhere. 
T. roscuSt Koch. — Generally distributed, but not numerous. 
T. vividus, Koch. — On the banks of the River Slaney in a very damp 
situation. Only recorded twice previously in the British Isles, 
namely, from Portlaw, Co. Waterford, and Borris, Co. Carlow. 
Porcelllo scabcr, Latr.— Common. 
p. plctus» Brandt. — A good sized colony found in a stack of tiles, but 
nowhere else. The species in Ireland has only been recorded pre- 
viously from Dublin, Belfast and Galway. 
p, dllatatuSy Brandt. — In greenhouses and garden frames only, and 
not very common. Previously recorded as Irish only from Dublin, 
Galway and Newtownards. 
Wlctoponorthus prulnosus, Brandt.— In considerable numbers in 
garden frames- Previous Irish records are from Dublin, Galway and 
Down only. 
Oniscus aselluSy L. — The commonest species of all. 
Phlloscia muscorum, Scop.— Very common. 
Armadillicllum vulgare, Latr.— Common but not very numerous. 
Dr. Scharfi has very kindly looked at all the specimens for 
me and confirmed my identifications.
