XL. — JSvtes on Myriapoda. — XXIV. Preliminary Note on 

 a Millipede new to Science. By the Rev. S. Geaham 

 Brade-Bieks, M.Sc. (Manchester), Lecturer in Zoology 

 and Geology, IS.E. Agricultural College, Wye, Kent. 



Me. H. C. Chapelow, Lecturer in Horticulture at Wye 

 College, recently drew my attention to a plot of selected 

 white czar runner-beans on Wye Field infested with 

 millipedes. 



Among the species present I took a pale form, which I 

 have submitted to Monsieur Henry W. Brolemann, and he 

 has been kind enough to assure me that my animal is new to 

 science and to give me some account of its systematic position. 



In the light of this information I submit the following 

 brief preliminary description :— 



Proteroiulus pallidusj sp. n. 



Nearly allied to Amsteinia fusca (Am Stein), and in 

 general appearance similar to Typhloblaniulus guttulatus 

 (Bosc).
