a single female fly and the male is said to be necessary for deter- 

 mination in the genus Sarcophaga. 1 



No satisfactory account of the life cycle of any myriopod has 

 been seen by the writer. Much space is given to the embryology 

 of a few species, but the food of the young, the time occupied 

 by the various stages and the habits of the species are omitted. 

 Sinclair (Cambridge Nat, Hist, 1895, vol. 5, pp. 37-38) describes 

 the preparation of the nest in which Julus terrestris deposits and 

 seals up its 60 to 100 eggs, and Morse (Ohio Nat. vol. 4, 1904, 

 pp. 161-163) tells of a somewhat similar habit observed in Fon- 

 taria indiance but seems to believe that the eggs are laid through 

 the generative opening on the second body segment which the 

 present writer believes improbable.
