drini (Cryptops), they are coalesced, or on the contrary, as in 

 the Scutigera, they are both divided into a great number of 

 joints. I have already suggested this explanation in " Dan- 

 mark's Geophiler," where it is said in the diagnosis of the 

 Geophili, 1. c. p. 81, " tarsis integris," and immediately after: 

 " Det normale Antal Led i Myriapodernes Been kan antages at 

 vaere syobaacte hos Chilognather og Chilopoder ;" with regard 

 to the Scolopendrini and Lithobii (Anamorpha), in " Danmark's 

 Scolopendrer og Lithobier," p. 242 and 244, I have maintained 

 this view, and in the " JVtyriapoda Musrci Hauniensis, I. Geophili," 

 p. 7, 1 have reiterated my former explanation of the limbs of the 

 Geophili. In the following table, I will set forth the terminology 

 which I shall use in this paper, together with that which some 

 other authors have used.

With regard to the denominations of Newport, I will call to 

 mind a correction, which, for the rest, Newport himself has made 

 in the second part of his monograph, saying, 1. c, p. 351, foot- 

 note : 



" In the first part of this paper, page 283-4, the joint that 

 articulates with the tibia has been described by a mistake as the 

 metatarsus instead of the tarsus, and the remaining joints as tar- 

 sal instead of metatarsal." 



In the dissertation " Schlesiens Chilopoda I. Chilopoda ana- 

 morpha," 1880, Haase seems to have followed me, at least, he 

 says in the character of his subordo prior, the Chilopodo ana- 

 morpha, "tarsis bi- vel multi-articulatis," 1. c, p. 0, but in the 

 paper published immediately afterward, " Beitrtige zur Phylo- 

 genie und Ontogenie der Chilopoden," he must have joined Lat- 

 zel's side, for he says, 1. c, p. 11, "Die Heine der Chilopoden 

 lassen sich stets auf das typische Insectenbeine zuriickfuhren
