"This paper was fonnil amoii;; the cftects of the late Charles H. Hollinan. It cou- 

 taius full <lesiTi|»ti(ms of ten new (wrins (tf Myriapotls. Mriftdiai^iiose.s of nine of 

 the.se species have already been published in the Aiuuricuu Natiir.'ilist, Volume \xi, 

 pp. 81, 82 (.January, 1887). Scoloiforri/plopH caharutitH h:i>i not been before described 

 It seems desirable th.it these fuller des<'ripti<>us should be published in order to en- 

 able future stiulents of the subject to more certainly identify the species. — LuciEX
