Through the kindness of Prof. C. H. Edmondson, of Washburn College, 

 I have examined two individuals of this species collected by Cragin in 

 Barber county. The larger one measures 140 mm. These two specimens 

 are all that remain of Prof. Cragin's Myriapoda collection, as the re- 

 mainder were destroyed by fire. 



Habitat: Cowley Co. (writer); Elk Co. (Biol. Survey); Labette Co. 

 (R. D. Lindsey and Biol. Survey) ; Montgomery Co. (Biol. Survey). This 

 is also reported from Barber county by Cragin, as above mentioned. 



23. Scolopendra morsitans (Linnaus). 



Scolupcndra morsitans Linnseus. Syst. Nat., X, p. 6.38 (1758). 

 Under the name Scolopendra morsitans var. ccernlescens, Cragin re- 

 ports a single specimen of this species from Barber county. It is a very 

 doubtful record for the state. 



24. Scolopendra polymorpha (Wood). 



Scolopendra polymorpha Wood. Proc. Phila. Acad., 1861, p. 11. 



Probably found throughout the state, but more common in the southern 

 and western portions. 



Habitat: Butler and Chase Cos. (Biol. Survey) ; Cowley and Douglas 

 Cos. (writer) ; Ellsworth Co. (A. Wellington) ; Graham and Greenwood 

 Cos. (Biol. Survey) ; Jefferson Co. (writer) ; Labette Co. (R. D. Lindsey 

 and Biol. Survey) ; Marion Co. (Biol. Survey) ; Montgomei-y Co. (R. D. 

 Lindsey and Biol. Survey) ; Norton Co. (C. D. Bunker) ; Riley Co. (Biol. 

 Survey); Russell Co. (W. S. Sutton); Trego Co. (Biol. Survey). Wood 

 reports this species from Kansas, and it is recorded by Cragin from 

 Barber, Finney and Rice counties. 



Family GEOPHILID^ai:. 



25. Arenophilus bipuncticeps (Wood). 



Geojihihts hi/mncticeps Wood. Jour. Phila. Acad., vol. V, p. 45 



(1862). 

 Arenophilus bipuncticeps Chamberlin. Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. 

 Harvard, vol. LIV, p. 417 (1912). 

 This is one of the most common centipedes. It lives under dung, stones, 

 and pieces of wood, and is often found in the loose soil of gardens. It 

 seems to be able to stand dry weather better than most species, as they 

 seem to be as numerous after a long diy spell as when the g^-ound is moist., 

 Habitat: Anderson Co. (E. H. Taylor) ; Bourbon Co. (Biol. Survey)!;) 

 Butler Co. (E. C. Harrah) ; Cherokee Co. (Biol. Survey); Cowley Co. 

 (writer) ; Douglas Co. (E. H. Taylor, Biol. Survey, and wi-iter) ; Graham 

 and Greenwood Cos. (Biol. Survey) ; Jefferson Co. (writer) ; Labette Co. 

 (R. D. Lindsey and Biol. Survey) ; Maiion, Montgomery, Osage, Osborne, 

 Pottawatomie, Riley, Rooks and Shawnee Cos. (Biol. Survey) ; Sumner 

 Co. (W. O. Riley and writer) ; Trego Co. (Biol. Survey). Also reported 

 from Jefferson county by Cragin.
