A NEW DIPLOPOD FROM TEXAS AND A NEW 

 CHILOPOD FROM ALASKA.

 genus Ethojulus, recently established by the writer for a Loui- 

 sianan species, E. amphelictus Chamb. 1 In publishing descrip- 

 tions of these new forms it seems worth while to list the other 

 species in the lot for the sake of the records.
