Taken by Mr. Lister and by Mr. Andrews in various parts of the 

 island. 



The specimens of this Millipede collected by Mr. Lister were 

 the only representatives of the genus known at that time. 

 "Within the last six years, however, two fresh species have been 

 discovered. One of these was met with in Amboina, and was 

 named Haplosoma strubelli by Yerhoeff ; the other, described by 

 myself as Cylmdrode&mus villosus, was obtained by Mr. Stanley 

 Gardiner in the island of Eotuma. The specific features of the 

 three are tabulated in my above cited paper in the "Annals" for 

 last year.
