RECORDS OF MY RI A POD A FROM THE FORTH AREA 79 



RECORDS OF SOME MYRIAPODA FROM THE 



FORTH AREA. 



By Richard S. Bagnall, F.L.S. 



In June 191 7 I spent a short week-end at North Berwick, and 

 also managed to put in an hour's collecting at Dunbar on the 

 journey up. As the myriapods I observed included some 

 additions to Mr Evans' splendid list (Proc. Roy. Phys. Soc, 

 Edin., 1907), I think it advisable to put the results on record. 

 The new records are Polydesmus coriaceus, 1 Cylindroiulus 

 frisius, Brachyiulus {Microbrachyiulus) lit (oralis, Isobates 

 varicomis, Allopanropus gracilis, and Lithobius duboscqui, 

 all except the Allopauropus being additions to the Scottish 

 Fauna. Of these Mr Evans had already sent me Brachyiulus 

 littoralis amongst material from the Isle of May, and 

 probably his records of Brachyiulus pusillus are referable to 

 that species in fact I have not seen British examples of 

 true B. pusillus. Cylindroiulus frisius has been confused with 

 C. britannicus, and in his records of britannicus Mr Evans 

 draws attention to differences in coloration between inland 

 and coast examples ; coast records may safely be referred 

 to frisius. 



I also include a record of Symphylclla minutissima from 

 Edinburgh, another addition to the Scottish list. 



Diplopoda. 



Glomeris marginata, Vill. North Berwick Law. 



Polydesmus complanatus, L. North Berwick and the Law. 



Polydesmus coriaceus, Porat. North Berwick Law, both sexes. 



Brachydesmus superus, Latz. North Berwick and the Law. 



Tachypodoiulus albipes (C. Koch) ; Schizophyllum sabulosus 

 (L.) ; Julus ligi/lifer (Latz.) Both sexes of these three species 

 from North Berwick and on the Law. 



Leptoiulus fallax (Mein.) North Berwick, both sexes. 



Cylindroiulus silvarum (Mein.) North Berwick, the Law, and 

 East Fortune. 



1 Mr Evans {Joe. cit.) has recorded this species from hothouses in 

 the Edinburgh Botanic Garden.
