Br. H. Woodwards — Myriapods of the Coal Period.

 [Having been kindly permitted by Prof. J. 0. Westwood to examine the original 

 specimen in the " Hope Cabinet," I am able to state that the supposed extra row of 

 tubercles are not the bases of spines broken off, but are depressions in the tergum 

 near the base of each of the great branched spines, and may be seen near the lateral 

 borders of each somite, in every specimen of E. ferox which I have examined.]

Neither did the specimen which I described in 1866,^ from the 

 Clay-ironstone of the Coal-measures, Kilmaurs, Ayrshire ; which so 

 closely resemble Dawson's specimen, that I referred it to even the 

 same genus and species.
