MYRIAPODS. 



BY PROF. GEO. H. CARPENTER, B.SC. 



The three classes of Arthropods usually included under the 

 term " Myriapoda " are all represented on Lambay, and some 

 of the species are evidently common. Notable absentees from 

 the lists, however, are the large banded centipide Lithobius 

 variegatus, Leach, our two largest snake-millipedes lulus niger, 

 Leach, and I. sabulosus, Linn, and the Pill-millipede Glomeris 

 marginata, Vill. A few critical species still await determination.
