I. Introduction. 



A short holiday in Derbyshire at the end of May and 

 beginning of June 1918 gave us an opportunity to collect 

 some ccntipetles and niiliipudes ; and we teel that the results 

 are of sutiicient interest to warrant the publicaiion of a 

 preliminary list for the county, so arranged as to make 

 miiiiiion of some of the work previously done by other 

 collectors as well as to include our own 1918 records. Also, 

 in 8i-pteniber 1916, we made one excur.'rion from the Stafford- 

 .'"hiie side to the Derl;yshirt— Staffordshire boundary near 

 Beresford Hall; and, although there was some confusion in 

 our minds as to the exact position of the boundary, we have 

 incorporated some relevant results of tiiat day's work in the 

 present paper, recording the specimens taken there as from 

 " near tiie K. Dove,'' because we are practically certain that 

 these are truly Derbyshire occurrences. If we are in error 

 about the county, the animals thus recorded were lound close 

 to the boundary of the shires, but on the Staffordshire side. 

 Two species included under these circumstances in the present 

 list, viz. PvlydesiuKS de7itiLuIatus -dud Scotiopianes acuminaius, 

 are not otherwise known to us from Derbyshire. 



In several cases of material placid at our disposal by 

 Mr. Stantlen, Mill Dale (Staffordshire) is included in our 

 detailed records, because it is coupled as a collecling-giound 

 with Dove Dale (Derbyshire) ; but in no case does such an 

 occurrence stand alone as a county record. 



In tiie Diplo{)oda and Chilopoda (with which this paper 

 deals) we now know some thirty-one Derbyshire forms, and 

 these are enumerated below : — 



DiPLOPODA ( = MiDipede8). 



1. Glo7neris inaryinata (Villers). 



2. 6r'. muryinatu perplexa, Iviitzel. 



3. lulns liyidifer, Latzel & V'erhoefF.
