is added at each moult," and he concludes that the addition of new 

 segments " therefore takes place in this animal by the intercalation 

 of two at each moult between the antepenultimate and penultimate 

 sterna, as in the Chilognatha, and as also in some of the Chilopoda." 

 There is but one family, Scolopendrellidse, and a single genus, 

 Scolopendrella, which seems to be, like other archaic types, cosmo- 

 politan in its distribution. 



Our commonest species is S. immaculata Newport, which occurs from Massa- 

 chusetts to Cordova, Mexico, and in Europe from England to the Mediterranean 

 and Russia ; Mr. O. F. Cook tells me he has found a species in Liberia, West 

 Africa. The other species are S. notacantha Gervais, Europe and Eastern 

 United States; 8. nivea Scopoli (S. gratice Ryder), Europe and United States; 

 fl. latipes Scudder, Massachusetts.
