MYRIAPODS FROM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. 
By Rapes V. CHAMBERLIN, 
Museum of Comparative Zodlogy, Cambridge, Mass. 
The myriapods listed below are represented in a collection made 
by Mr. Harold Cummins of Vanderbilt University in and near 
Nashville and by him kindly sent to me for study. The collection 
is interesting particularly because it includes numerous well pre- 
served specimens of a new diplopod genus of the family Nanno- 
lenide. Three other forms represent new species, two of Fontaria 
and one of Parajulus. ‘There is a total of twenty-five species.
