The species of this country have not been much investi- 
gated, and there is little doubt that some of the many species 
recorded in Brandt's ‘ Conspectus of the Oniscidce / will be 
found to be indigenous. Among those recorded may be 
specified — 
Porcellio scaber, Latr. (Plate XIII. fig. 2.) — Body 
oval, wide, and covered with roughnesses, largest on the 
head and thorax, and very small on the abdomen. The 
frontal median lobe of the head is entire and triangular. 
It is of a darkish lead-colour, often varied with whitish 
blotches. 
Common under stones and among rotten wood. 
Porcellio l^evis, Latr. — Body smooth ; head with the 
front arcuated, the middle lobe very little developed ; of a 
uniform greyish-brown ; below the knees of each leg there 
is a dusky spot. 
In similar localities as the former, but not so common.
