414 ON THE WYANDOTTE CAVE AND ITS FAUNA. 
any of these excepting the second. A monograph of Catops has 
already appeared containing many species from our fauna, and as 
the work is inaccessible at present, I have hesitated to do more 
than indicate the presence of the above species. 
The cricket of the Wyandotte Cave is stouter than that of the 
Mammoth and thus more like the Raphidophora lapidicola of the 
forest. There were three species of flies, one or more species of 
Poduride and a Campodea not determined. 
Centipedes are much more abundant in the Wyandotte than in 
the Mammoth cave. They especially abounded on the high sta- 
lagmites which crown the hill beneath the Mammoth dome, which 
is three miles from the mouth of the cave. The species is quite 
distinct from that of the Mammoth Cave and is the one I deseribed 
some years ago from caves in Virginia and Tennessee. I call it 
Spirostrephon cavernarum, agreeing with Dr. Packard that the 
genus* to which it was originally referred is of doubtful validity. 
The species is furnished with a small triangular patch of eyes, 
and is without hairs, but the antenne are quite elongate. Its 
rings are quite handsomely keeled. The allied form found by 
Mr. Cooke in the Mammoth Cave has been described by Be 
Packard as Spirostrephon Copei. It is eyeless and is, on this 
account alone, worthy of being distinguished generically adi ; 
Spirostrephon, though the absence of pores asserted by Dr. rack 
ard, would also constitute another character. Spirostrephon POS 
sesses a series of lateral pores as I have pointed out in accordance i 
with Wood’s view.t This genus may be then named Scoterp:

Two species of Arachnidans were observed, one & true spim*? 
the other related to the “long-legs” of the woods. A ee 
similar to the former is found in the Mammoth Cave, and eth 
in other caves, but in every instance where I have obtained pa 
they have been lost by the dissolution of their delicate yee” 
the impure alcohol. The other forms are more completely ee 
inized and are easily preserved. They are related to the is 
Gonyleptes found under stones in various portions of the ager
