a single series on the internal margin end surface, forming I series of live with the 

 apical spine. Lateral appendages tubol ply punctured, frrmgii MQt, with hM 



short spinulac. Preanal scale elongated, tetragonal, with the posterior | ditlv 



rounded. 



This species was brought from Southern Africa by Dr. A. Smith. It app< 

 to be the Scolopendra ambigua of M. Brandt, although I have still a slight 

 doubt, as the form of the cephalic segment has not been described by that 

 distinguished naturalist.

This species so closely resembles the following in every particular of Struc- 

 ture, although not in colour, that I have some doubt whether it is other than 

 a variety. Consequently I have described it with a query.
