A tropicopolitan species, though commonly occurring rather 

 sparsely. It is well known, e. g., from South America, West 

 Indies, Hawaii, Samoa, Philippines, New Guinea, India and 

 Africa. It also sometimes occurs in hothouses in temperate 

 regions, as in Europe and North America (Washington, D. C.)

It is a matter of considerable interest to be able to add to the 

 known chilopod fauna of the Bermudas this European marine 

 geophiloid. The form was previously known to occur on the 

 Mediterreanean and Atlantic coasts of France, the coasts of 

 England (Jersey, Plymouth) and Ireland (Galway), and north- 

 ward to Denmark and Sweden. It has also been recorded 

 from Italy (Portici, Berlese, 1882) ; but there is some doubt as to 

 the correctness of the identification in this case. Grube 

 (Op. cit., p. 82-83) found it at St. Malo and Roscoff often in 

 large numbers under stones and in fissures covered at high tide. 

 A male of this species was taken by O. Bryant on the Bermudas 

 at Hungry Bay (10 July, 1903), where it was "found under a 

 stone nearly at low tide mark. " I have examined also a female 

 taken at Port Royal (25 June, 1918) in a similar location by 

 Dr. W. L. Crozier, who has supplied me with the following field 

 notes on the form." The intertidal form lives (a) around the
