tion. Has been found in Norway, etc. The anterior ventral 

 plates are very distinctly three-furrowed. Care must be 

 taken not to mistake young of tlie preceding for it.

Schendyla nemorensis (C. L. Koch). 



Has only been identified on a few occasions, but it is a 



small and easily overlooked species. Was recorded by me in 



1901 (12&). I gather that it is known to Mr Pocock from 



England, but I have not met with any record. It is common 



in iNTorway (EUingsen) and other parts of Europe (Latzel).

Linotsenia crassipes (C. L. Koch). 



Scolioiylanes crassipes (C. Koch), Latzel's Die Myriopoden, etc. 



In this country luminous Centipedes usually prove, I 

 believe, to be of this species, in which the emission of 

 luminescent matter, as the animal moves about on mild, 

 damp nights in autumn, is a well-known habit. According 

 to my experience, it is a rare species in this district. It is 

 the Greophilus or Scolioplanes acuminatus of some authors, but 

 not, I imagine, of Johnston's Berwickshire list (5), his remarks, 

 " common under stones, especially on the sea-shore, and 

 abundant on the Cheviot Hills," pointing rather to Z. mari- 

 tima and G. carpophagus ; while in Gibson-Carmichael's 

 Scottish list (7) the name probably covers both this species 

 and the next. Europe west to Ireland. 



Local data. — Dalmeny Park, West Lothian, one, Oct. 1895 (Evans, 12a), 

 and another, 24th Jan. 1900, both captured by Mr C. Campbell; hour about 

 10 P.M.; weather mild and moist. The identification of the first specimen 

 (a ? ), which Mr Campbell was kind enough to give me, has been confirmed 

 by Mr Pocock. On each occasion Mr Campbell's attention was attracted by
