the more northern parts of England or Scotland, though it 

 occurs in Denmark. 



2. The Limacomorpha are unrepresented in this country. 



3. The Helminthomorpha comprise the greater number of 

 the British CMlognatha. 



Polydesmus compldnatus. A widely-distributed species, 

 common in England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. Pound all 

 over the Continent, in Madeira and the Azores. 



Brachydesmus superus. Hungary, Austria, and Germany. 

 I have found it in the North of Scotland, in Essex, Devon, and 

 Wales. 



Craspedosoma polydesmoides, Leach, Syn. Atractosoma 

 bohemicum, Latzel. Austria, Germany, and England. 



Craspedosoma, rawlinsii, Leach. Hungary (rare), Austria, 

 Mid-Europe; seems not to be known in France. 



Atractosoma latzelii, Verhoeff. South England. I have 

 received specimens from the neighbourhood of Plymouth, and 

 found specimens in Essex. This species does not seem to have 

 been recorded from any country but England. 



Of the genus Julus, Leach gives the following species : 

 J. londinensis, J. niger, J. terrestris, J. sabulosus, J. punc- 

 tatus, J. pulchellus, and J. pusillus. As has been before 

 mentioned, there is a great deal of difficulty in identifying 

 some of these with the continental species. J. sabulosus is, 

 according to Latzel, synonymous with J. terrestris of Linnaeus, 

 and J. rubripes of C. Koch. I have had specimens from Wales, 

 Devon, Cumberland, and Perthshire. The specimen I received 

 from the latter locality was the variety named by Verhoeff 

 J. bipunctatum. 



J. londinensis, Leach, is identified by Verhoeff with a species 

 occurring in Germany. He has obtained specimens from the 

 neighbourhood of London as well as from various parts of 

 Germany and believes them to be the species which Leach 

 described as J. londinensis. Verhoeff's species, however, does 

 not correspond with Leach's description in two points. Leach 

 describes the praeanal segment as sub-mucronatum, while
