The specimens of this Millipede collected hj Mr. Lister were

 "VVithia the last six years, however, two fresh species have been 

 discovered. One of these was met with in Amboina, and w^as 

 named Haplosoma driihelU by Verhoeff ; the other, described by 

 myself as Cylindrodesmus villosus, was obtained by Mr. Stanley 

 Gardiner in the island of Potuma. The specific features of the 

 three are tabulated in my above cited paper in the "Annals" for
