[TO TUN EDITOR OP TITS "SPECTATOR."] SIR, — Do wood-lice curl up

(see Spectator for March 25th) ? Miss Pbcebe Allen, the well-known author of " Garden Pests," Kays " No." " Pill-millipedes " as they are popularly called, Glomeridae as known to naturalists, are not wood-lice, but "slaters." The most familiar example of these is the Oniscus, or common wood-louse.—I am, Sir, &c., S. GAYE.
