Ill Loudon's '' Magazine of Natural History," vol. viii. for 

 1835, there is a paper by George Johnstone, M.I)., F.Ii.C.S.E., 

 entitled "A Catalogue of the Insecta Myriapoda found in 

 Berwickshire." This paper is peculiarly interesting, because 

 after a lapse of almost half a century it still remains the only 

 attempt at a list of the Scottish species of Myriapoda. John- 

 stone mentions eleven species as being found in Berwickshire, 

 and, with the exception of two {Graspedosoma Puviolinsii and 

 Geophilus suhterrccncus), he states that they are all common. 

 His list gives the following species : — 



Glomcris marginata (Leach). 

 lulus sahulosus (Linn.). 



„ niyer (Leach). 



„ punctcttus (Leach). 



„ pulchellus (Leach). 

 Crctspedosoma Bawlinsii (Leach). 

 Polydesmus com^^lcmatus (Linn.). 

 Lithohius vulgaris (Leach). 

 Geophilus suhterraneics (Leach). 

 „ acuminatus (Leach). 

 „ longicornis (Leach). 



Of /. pulchellus he recognises two varieties, one correspond- 

 ing with /. candidus of Muller,* /. pulchellus (Leach), and 

 /./ra^ft7'i?«7i (Lamarck) ; the other variety corresponds, John- 

 stone thinks, to /. tuhercidosus (Muller).i- 



The object of the present paper is to give a list of the 

 species known to the writer as inhabiting Scotland, com- 

 paring them with Johnstone's list. This list must be far 

 from complete, as a collection has only been made in a few 

 localities, and during few months. 



The species are —
