This is certainly not a true Geophilus, being in all probability a 
member of the present family. It seems likely to prove to belong 
to Schendylurus. The anal legs are unarmed; the last ventral plate 
very wide with pores on coxopleurae said to be absent by Meinert 
but no doubt to be found after proper treatment with potash as has 
been shown to be true with various species of Schendylurus, etce., 
which at first were considered to’ lack the pores; the prosternum 
and joints of prehensors, unarmed, the claws of the latter not surpass- 
ing the front margin of the head; pairs of legs 67.

portion, this consisting typically of a narrow transverse stripe along 
the anterior margin connected at the middle by means of a broad 
neck with two short curved marks diverging from each other and 
bending out laterad near the middle of the plate; this mark in going 
from segment to segment caudad becoming less and less developed and 
finally disappearing entirely. No distinct geminate dark stripe such
