88 THE CANAiDIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



spite of the fact that some of them unfortunately have no labels. This gave the 

 writer a chance to check Cragin's published list with probably most of the ma- 

 terial originally used by him, and revise the list of Kansas Myriapoda, with the 

 results recorded below. The collections will be deposited in the Musueum of 

 the University of Kansas. 



DiPLOPODA. 



Foutaria rlri/iiiicn.ys (Druryj. 



Cragin reports "Two specimens from Kansas Valley Woods, Shawnee 

 Co." There are two bottles of this species in the collection. One contains two 

 specimens, and is labeled "Polydesmus z'irginiensis (Drury), Topeka, Cragin." 

 The other contains one specimen from "Baxter Springs, Ks., Dr. J. M. Duncan." 

 As Topeka is in Shawnee County, it is evident the first bottle contains the 

 specimens referred to by Cragin. 



Leptodesiiiiis placidits (Wood). 



C."'agin records, under the name Polydcsiiins floridus, three specimens 

 from near Thompsonville, Jefferson Co. None in the collection, 



Polydesmus piiictonim Bollman. 



Cragin does not record this form, but there are five male specimens in 

 the collection labelled "Topeka, Cragin." 



Polydesmus scrratus Say. 



Cragin does not mention this, but there are three specimens, without labels 

 in the collection. 



Lysiopctalum lactarium (Say). 



Cragin does not record this, but there is one specimen in the collerfion 

 labelled "Topeka, Cragin." 



Arctobolus marginatus (Say). 



Not recorded by Cragin, but there are nine specimens in the collection, 

 all wthout labels except one, which is from "Topeka, Ks., L. A. Whitney." 

 Seven of these are without heads ! 



Tylobolus uncigerus (Wood). 



Cragin reports this species under the name Spirobohis uncigeris from 

 Shawnee County. As the writer has previously stated (6, pg. 164), other re- 

 corded localities for this species are restricted to California and Oregon. It is 

 not to be found in the collection, which fact, taken together with its known 

 distribution, leads to but one conclusion, i.e., it should be stricken from the 

 list of forms in the state. From the mutilated condition of the above men- 

 tioned specimens of A. marginatus it is quite possible that their identification 

 caused trouble and they were recorded as uncigerus. 



Parajulus vcnustus (\Vood). 



Cragin says, "Specimens of lulus are abundant in Shawnee Co.. but I 

 shall not be able to report upon any of them in the present contribution." 

 (5, pg. 145). One specimen in the collection, labeled "Julus venustus, Topeka. 

 Cragin" appears to be this species.
