two species, amoenus and helence of the genus Carphophiops are 

 examples ; they were separated by the former having two pairs 

 of frontals and the latter one pair. 



A study of the young of the forms of Eidaviia would be inter- 

 esting and profitable as a means of arriving at some conclusion as 

 to the status of the several species and varieties.

MYRIOPODS FROM VINTON, OHIO. 



Max Morse. 



The following list represents a small collection of myriopods 

 taken at Vinton, Gallia county, Ohio, from June 19 to 23, 1901. 

 The list is not meant to be exhaustive, but to simply show what 

 forms are commonly found in that locality. One species, vScolo- 

 pendra woodii Mein., is not common in Ohio as far as our 

 experience shows. It is a member of the same genus as the 

 well-known western and southern form known commonly as the 

 "centipede." Our species, however, is much smaller. Its bite 

 is well directed but not serious, the main symptoms being acute 

 pain for awhile after being bitten, with little or no swelling. The 

 millipede, Fontaria coriacea Koch., was found with eggs attached 

 to the ventral surface. The eggs were about .So nun. in diameter 

 and were translucent.
