Scolopendra electrica, and Scolopendra fubterranea. 9 
circumftance, that the larvae of many infeéts are fubterraneous, 
while the infeéts in their complete ftate inhabit the furface, Yet 
with refpeét to the two Scolopendre before mentioned, I muft: ftill 
think that there are fufficient grounds for fuppofing a real and 
fpecific difference; and in order that they may the more eafily be 
diftinguifhed, it might not perhaps be improper to give to the fpe- 
cies thus imperfeétly defcribed, the trivial name of /ubterranea. 
I am by no means certain that the Sc. /ubterranea yields any 
of that phofphoric light which prevails fo ftrongly in the other: 
fhould this be uniformly the cafe, there is ftill another argument 
in favour of a real {pecific difference.
