The frontal lobe in Armadillidium depressum is very prominent
and much recurved. The antennae are fairly
long and while the two joints of the flagellum
are nearly equal they are together not so long
as the last peduncular joint.
The telson is slightly longer than it is broad
at the base, and its sides are incurved. As in
Armadillidium vulgare and Armadillidium pulchellum
the outer divisions of the tail appendages are
broader than they are long.
The body is flatter than in the other species
and bears tubercles; its colour is a slate-grey
with yellowish markings. The first thoracic
segment is well developed and the head appears
as if almost completely imbedded in it.

Distribution of Species. There are not sufficient records
at present to enable us to draw any conclusions as to the general

more attention will be given to these creatures, and that before
long there may be other material available.
Conclusion. At the beginning it was mentioned that the
present work grew out of an investigation into the fauna of
Essex, and in order to show what may be expected when places
