This list does not contain references to those species wMch have been 

 recorded vaguely as from the East Indies, although it must bo 

 admitted the area is sufficiently comprehensive to embrace any spot 

 between Papua and the Punjab. 



Nor are the Burmese species included. For the Chilopoda of this 

 countrj'-, reference may be made to my paper in the Ann. Mus. 

 Genov., (2), x, (xxx), pp. 401-432 (1891) on the Chilopoda collected 

 by Sig. L. Fea and Mr. E. W. Gates, Of the Diplopoda, only one 

 group, the Oniscomorpha, has as yet been worked out. This may be 

 found in the Ann. Mus. Genov., (2), x, pp. 384—395 (1890).

Dr. Haase looked upon this form as a variety of H. spinosum of 

 Newport, a species which also occurs in Ceylon. It appears to me, 

 however, to be sufficiently well characterised to rank, at all events, 

 provisionally, as a distinct species. The two forms agree in the 

 interesting fact that in the $ the distal spine on the upper inner 

 edge of the anal femur is enormously enlarged, ff. paucispinosum may 

 be recognised by the presence of only 7 spines on the anal femur, by
