We hope to deal before very long with some centipede and 

 millipede material from the English Midlands, but we think 

 the present brief note advisable, owing to the exceptional 

 interest of the species it records. 



Mr. S. Priest, F.G.S., with Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Epps (all 

 members of the Dartford Naturalists' Field Club) visited 

 Upper Alley, Worcestershire, on 22. vii. 1918, and took a 

 number of millipedes and centipedes between the bark and 

 trunk of fallen timber in a meadow next to the churchyard 

 there. This material, which was kindly submitted to us by 

 the collectors, included a species of Julus (s. 1.), which upon 

 dissection we found to be referable to Cylindroiuliis parisi- 

 orum (Brolemann et Verhoeff, 1896).

We sent our drawing of the gonopods to M. le Dr. Henry 

 W. Brolemann, who agrees with our diagnosis, and informs us 

 in litt., that nobody appears to have identified the species 

 since its first description (i). Thus some doubt had arisen 

 in Dr. Biolemann's mind as to the validity of the species. 

 The English rediscovery of the animal is therefore of some 

 importance. 



Externally C. parisiorum is practically indistinguishable
