Assistant in the Zoological Department, British Museum. 
The island does not seem to be rich in members of this group, 
since four species only were obtained in it. Two of these appear 
to be new to science, one being referable to the genus Geopliilus, 
the other to the genus Spirobolus. The others are the two wide- 
spread tropical species, Scolopendra morsitans (Linn.) and Para- 
desmus gracilis (C. Koch).

Naturg. 1881, p. 101. 
Thirteen specimens were taken. Common under dung and 
stones, at the east end of the main island and base of Peak 
Garden and elsewhere. The bite is about as bad as a wasp’s 
sting. 
Geophtlus Bidleyi, IE sp. 
Length 11 millim. Width about 1 millim. Posterior end of
