MYRIAPODA 
The myriapoda of Cumberland have been but little studied. It is 
impossible therefore to form a fair estimate of the number of species 
occurring in the county. Nevertheless it is safe to predict that out of 
the fifty odd species known from the British Islands at least thirty could 
without difficulty be collected in the sheltered valleys of the lake district. 
It is highly probable moreover that diligent and systematic search 
would bring to light species never previously recorded from England, 
possibly indeed species new to science. 
The species mentioned in the subjoined list were collected by Mr. 
F. O. Pickard-Cambridge. 
CHILOPODA 
Centipedes 
LITHOBID/ 
Short-bodied, swift-running centipedes fur- 
nished with eyes and only fifteen pairs of legs. 
1. Lithobius variegatus, Leach. Zool. Misc., 
iii. p. 40 (1817). 
Carlisle. 
This species, which is of peculiar interest on 
account of its being confined so far as is known 
to the British and Channel islands, may be 
distinguished from the commoner brown form 
L. forficatus by its larger head, variegated 
colouring, etc. 
2. Lithobius calearatus, C. Koch. 
Gatt. Lithobius, p. 86 (1862). 
Carlisle. 
A much smaller and darker species than the 
preceding and characterized by the presence of 
a tubercle on the fourth segment of the anal 
legs in the male. 
Die Myr. 
GEOPHILIDZ 
Long-bodied vermiform centipedes without 
eyes and furnished with a large but variable 
number of legs. 
3. Geophilus flavus, De Geer. Meém. Ins., vii. 
p. 561 (1778) (= dongicornis, Leach). 
Carlisle. 
This species is distinguished from the rest 
of the British species by its long cylindrical 
antennal segments. 
4. Geopbhilus carpophagus, Leach. 
ill, p. 43. 
Carlisle. 
Differing from the preceding and from the 
rest of the British species by the ‘ ball and 
socket’ method of articulation of the anterior 
sternal plates.
