Body subcylindric. 
Legs numerous, twice as

lopeiidras or Centipedes, but their body, instead 
of being flattened, as in those inseets, is nearly 
cylindrical; and every joint or segment is furnish- 
ed with two pair of feet, the number on each side 
doubling that of the segments, whereas in the 
scolopendrte the number of joints and of feet is 
equal on each side. The eyes of the Juli are com- 
posed of numerous hexagonal convexities, as in 
the major part of the insect tribe, and the mouth 
is furnished with a pair of denticulated jaws. 
These animals, when disturbed, roll themselves up 
in a flat spiral : their general motion is rather slow 
and undulatory. The most common species, the 
Julus sabulosus is often seen in similar situations 
with the Onisci and Scolopendrae, and usually 
measures about an inch and quarter in length; its
