our knowledge of Palaeozoic Myriapods has been greatly 

 increased, and brought to a focus. ^ 



Dr Henry Woodward, in the year 1867, showed that our 

 own Scottish Carboniferous rocks contained Myriapods. ^ 

 Again, in 1871, he described a species belonging to the 

 genus Euphoheria, of Meek and Worthen, from the Coal- 

 Measures of Kilmaurs, in Ayrshire, under the name of 

 Euphoheria Broivnii, after the finder.^ 



He subsequently pointed out, with the concurrence of the 

 late J. W. Salter, that the specimens of Arthropleura ferox, 

 of Salter, were the remains of a large species belonging to 

 the genus Euphoheria, and that " the peculiar caterpillar-like 

 creature," of Brodie and Westwood above mentioned, belongs 

 to the same species. 



In the year 1882 I read a paper before this Society, 

 pointing out that the peculiar Arthropod remains named 

 Kampecaris Forfarensis, by Page, which occur in the Lower 

 Old Eed Sandstone of Scotland, belong to two genera of 

 remarkably simply constructed Millepedes, now named 

 Kampecaris and Archidesmus.^ 



Dr G. r. Matthew, in the year 1893, described several 

 forms of Myriapod from the Devonian rocks of St John, 

 New Brunswick.^ 



As already mentioned in Part I., the fossil collectors of 

 the Geological Survey found in 1897 a fragment of a 

 Myriapod in the Upper Silurian rocks of Lesmahagow, 

 which belongs to the genus Archidesmus. In the same
