THE MYRIAPODA OF NORTH AMERICA. 140 



The first under the name of //>/ * rirtiiitlenxix is placed as a note 

 along with Polyd. serratm. Concerning this species Say says: 



I have found specimens double the usual si/,e in the Southern States. It seems 

 also to vary in ouly having the second joint of the feet mucronate, and in heinr 

 destitute of the robust ventral spines between the feet. 



Although he may have been right in regard to the identification of 

 his northern specimens, it seems to me as if his southern specimens 

 belonged to Funtnria c>'.s.s/c//.v (Wood). 



Scutigera forceps is mentioned after LithobtHs npinipes under the name 

 of Cermatia coleoptrata. His identification of our species with the Eu- 

 ropean is wrong, although there is considerable resemblance between 

 the two.
