FURTHER RECORDS OF SOME BRITISH SYMPHYLA 171 



Further Records of some British Syi/iphyla, with description 

 of a New Species. 



By Richard S. Bagnall, F.L.S., F.E.S. 

 (Hope Department of Zoology, University Museum, Oxford). 



Since my papers on the British species of this interesting 

 Order were published I have had the opportunity of 

 examining further material from various parts of Great 

 Britain. This material consists of very many specimens 

 collected by myself in the Wear and Derwent Valleys, in the 

 Cheviot district and in Tynedale, and a few from Whitby, 

 Oxford, the Clyde and Forth areas of Scotland, etc. 

 Dr. Randell Jackson has submitted several interesting 

 species, including examples of a new and distinct form 

 of Scolopendrella from Cheshire, and Mr. Evans is now 

 collecting material in the Forth area with his well-known 

 energy and success. To these friends I would wish to 

 express my warm thanks for allowing me to examine such 

 interesting material, and also to Mr. Hirst of the British 

 Museum for a tube of specimens from Devonshire. 



The examination of such material has shown that many of 

 the species I recently brought forward are not really un- 

 common, and are also of wide distribution. 



The following table shows the distribution as at present 

 known of the British species in the areas in which they have 

 received at least moderate attention, each district or county 

 (excepting Cheshire) being also subdivided to add to the 

 interest of the table and local workers : —
