FOR some time past local forms of millipedes and centipedes 

 have been accumulating in the museum of the University 

 of Kansas. During the past three years their number has 

 been greatly augmented by the collections made on the summer 

 trips of the State Biological Survey, and this in spite of the 

 fact that the extreme dry weather during all of these sum- 

 mers made the finding of such forms very difficult. This con- 

 dition probably accounts for the almost total absence of mem- 

 bers of the family Craspedosomidse. During the summer of 

 1910 the survey party started in Trego county, in western 

 Kansas, and then traveled east to Lawrence. The following 

 year the route ran south from Lawrence to the southeast 

 corner of the state, then west seventy-five miles, and then 

 north again to the starting point. The route taken in 1912 

 was southwest from Lawrence to Elk and Butler counties, 

 returning north to Junction City, in Geary county. Besides 

 the work of the survey, a large part of the collecting has been 

 done by the writer in Cowley, Douglas and Jefferson counties. 

 Also, the collection has been added to by Mr. R. D. Lindsey 

 from Labette and Montgomery counties, by Mr. E. H. Taylor 

 from Anderson county, and by Mr. G. D. Hanna from various 

 points in the state.
