No. 1. — The Myriopoda of the Australian Region, 



By Ralph Y. Cham merlin. 



The present more or less preliminary survey aims to cover the 

 Australian Region in the broad sense, including thus New Guinea and 

 the islands westward to Celebes, Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, 

 and the various Polynesian islands. It lists the known Chilopoda, 

 Symphyla, Pauropoda, and Diplopoda and adds diagnoses of numer- 

 ous new forms in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. By far the 

 greater number of these occur in extensive and highly interesting 

 collections made by Dr. W. M. Mann in the Solomons, Fijis, and in 

 Australia (127 species) and by Prof. W. M. Wheeler in New Zealand, 

 Australia, and in the Hervey and Society Islands (63 species). Among 

 other collections may be mentioned those made by Dr. Thomas 

 Barbour chiefly in New Guinea and the Moluccas (21 species), by 

 Mr. G. H. Hardy in Tasmania (14 species), and by Dr. H. L. Clark 

 in northern Queensland (9 species).
