MYRIAPODA 



Centipedes and Millipedes 



The Myriapods of Nottinghamshire appear to have received no attention from local zoologists, 

 nothing having hitherto been published concerning them. The scanty particulars given in this 

 note are founded upon specimens collected casually by the writer during the last two or three years ; 

 the great majority of these are, however, still unidentified and consequently no list of the species 

 can yet be given. 



The Myriapods are terrestrial animals found under stones and logs lying on the ground, under 

 the loose bark of dead trees and among dead leaves and rubbish. The body is divided into a 

 large but variable number of nearly similar segments or rings, and is provided with numerous pairs 

 of legs : the head bears a pair of antennae varying in length in the different species, and eyes may 

 be present or absent. 



The class is divisible into two orders : the Chilopoda or Centipedes, active, swiftly-running forms, 

 which prey upon living animals, and possess formidable poison fangs, and one pair of legs to each 

 body-ring ; and Chilognatha or Millipedes, which are vegetable feeders, very sluggish in their move- 

 ments, and have two pairs of legs to each body-ring. To the latter group belong the species of 

 lulus, commonly known as ' wire-worms,' which are often very injurious to cultivated crops, but are 

 otherwise harmless and inoffensive. 



CHILOPODA 



Centipedes 



The family Lithobiidae includes a number of very active species which run with great 

 rapidity when disturbed. The body is relatively short and depressed, and furnished with fifteen 

 pairs of legs. Eyes are present. 



Lithobius forficatus (Linn.) is abundant everywhere in Nottinghamshire under stones and logs 

 and among dead leaves both in town gardens and in the open country. One and probably two 

 other species also occur in the county. 



The Geophilidae are slow-moving centipedes with very long, slender bodies, no eyes, and a 

 large but variable number of pairs of legs. The genera Geophilus and Linotaenia are each represented 

 in Nottinghamshire by at least one species. The last-named genus includes the luminous or 

 phosphorescent centipedes. 



CHILOGNATHA OR DIPLOPODA 



Millipedes 



The families Polyxenidae and Glomeridae are each represented in Great Britain by a single 

 species, and both of these are found in Nottinghamshire Polyxenus lagurus (Linn.), a pretty and
