 Assistant in the Zoolowieal Department, British Museum. 



The island does not seem to be rich in members of this group, 

 since four species only were obtained in it. Two of these appear 

 to be new to science, one being referable to the genus Geoph'his, 

 the other to the genus SpirohoJns. The others are the two wide- 

 spread tropical species, ^colopendrn morsitans (Linn.) and Prira- 

 desmvs ffracilis (C. Koch).
