24 NOTES ON MILLIPEDES. 



I also collected specimens of Otostigmus on Penang Hill, 

 in the Larut Hills of Perak, in Johore, at Chantaboon 

 (purplish-bine in colour) and at Paknam-Menam, which 

 are difficult to determine specifically, as there are many 

 species of this genus described from Ceylon, Japan, 

 China, Mergui Archipelago, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes, 

 Flores, etc. 



8. Bhysida longipes (Newport). 



I got two specimens at Tanglin, Singapore, one found 

 under a flower-pot, one running about in my bathroom 

 at night, and several from Siam, from near Raheng and 

 from the island of Ko-si-chang. This centipede usually 

 has its back coloured dark reddish or purplish-brown, the 

 legs may be lighter ; it is of small size reaching a length 

 of 68 mm. (2.68 inches). It is distributed in many parts 

 of tropical Asia and America. 



9. Bhysida immarginata (Porat). 



Of this small species I got six specimens near A lor Star, 

 Kedah ; one in Taipeng, Perak ; a friend found it climbing up his 

 leg inside his trowsers ; and two in Singapore, one in the 

 Officers' Mess, Tanglin, and one in a bathroom of Raffles Hotel. 

 In these centipedes the antennae, when not in use, are carried 

 curled up very elegantly. Dr. Max AVeber obtained this species 

 in Sumatra, Java and Saleyer. 



10. Bhysida carinulata (Haase.) 



In January 1896 Mr. Ridley and I found one of these rare 

 centipedes on Bukit Timah, Singapore ; it was a female lying 

 curled up round its eggs, hidden under a rock in the jungle. 

 The species was previously known from Celebes. 



11. Bhysida rugulosa, Pocock. 



This species is described and figured (nat-size) by Pocock 

 in Max Weber's Zool. Ergebnisse III, p. 314, PI. xix, Fig. 6. 

 The type specimen is from Sumatra. In November 1896 I 

 caught one in the garden of " the Crag," Penang Hill, 2200 

 f ee t elevation ; its colours were : — back purplish black ; antennae
