ORTENTAL SCOLOPENDRID ZZ. 
By F. H. Gravety, M.Sc., Assistant Superintendent, 
Indian Museum. 
WITH A LIST OF THE SPECIMENS IN THE COLLEC- 
TION OF THE INDIAN MUSEUM, COMPILED 
FROM DATA SUPPLIED BY Dr. KARI, 
KRAEPELIN. 
The Scolopendride in the Indian Museum have recently been 
identified by Dr. K. Kraepelin who, however, published no report 
upon them as they all belonged to well-known species. At the 
suggestion of Dr. Annandale, therefore, I have prepared a list, 
drawn up in the order adopted by Dr. Kraepelin in his “‘ Revision 
der Scolopendriden’’ (Mitt. Naturhist. Mus. Hamburg, xx, 1902, 
pp. I—276), with the object of recording their distribution. The 
page-number given after each genus and species is a reference to 
the place of its description in this ‘‘ Revision.’””’ The number 
given in brackets after each locality refers to the number of 
specimens in the collection. ‘The names of localities enclosed in 
square brackets are those of places not in the Oriental Region. 
When that of a genus or species is similarly enclosed no specimen 
of it is recorded in Dr. Kraepelin’s “‘ Revision’’ from this Region.
