Myriapoda 191 



part of the county my examination has been at all exhaustive. 

 I have no doubt that many more species could be discovered 

 than I have been able to find. I have myself collected the 

 following species. 



Julus albipes, on bark of willow-trees about Grantchester, 

 and in the fields about Whittlesford Common. 



/. Jallax, fields about Cambridge and at Newton, fairly 

 common. Blanjulus guttulatus, common in dried leaves, 

 under stones or logs of wood in fields about Hauxton, Foxton, 

 Newton and other villages. Polydesmus complanatus, under 

 logs of wood, not very common near Cambridge. I find that 

 on clay lands they are more common than on lighter soils. 

 Lithobius forficatus, common under logs of wood and stones 

 near Cambridge and the neighbourhood. This is perhaps the 

 commonest of the English species. 



Lithobius melanops, a very small species common in gardens. 

 Cryptops hortensis, not very common in Cambridgeshire. It 

 is found in gardens, but in my experience it is more abundantly 

 found in heavier soils than that of Cambridgeshire. Scolio- 

 planes acuminatus : this species I have found fairly common 

 in gardens and fields about Cambridge. It is found under 

 logs and dried leaves and more especially just beneath the 

 surface of the soil. Geophilus longicornis, under logs and 

 stones, and like the last-mentioned species, just beneath the 

 surface of the soil. The heath at Royston is a good place 

 both for it and the last-named species. 



Now there are several other species for which it would 

 be worth while to search, considering, as I have already said, 

 that the county has never been systematically searched for 

 Myriapoda. Pauropus huxleyi might be found under dried 

 leaves. Glomeris marginata is, I think, from what I know of 

 its distribution, unlikely to be found, but Atractosoma latzelii 

 would be a probable find and might be searched for in moss 

 and dried leaves, especially in any wooded part such as the 

 woods about Madingley. Verhoeffs Julus britannicus might
