species, were presented by John Miers, F.R.S. Also a valuable 

 series of Millipedes from the Philippine Islands, subsequently 

 described by Newport, was purchased from Mr. Cuming. A new 

 species of Centipede had been previously purchased from Cuming 

 in 1841. Newport himself presented 13 Centipedes from 

 Paramatta and the types of Scolopendra angusta and S. valida 

 from the Canary Islands were presented by Mr. Barker Webb. 

 In this year also three species of Centipedes from New Zealand, 

 Tasmania and Australia, collected on Sir James Ross's Antarctic 

 Expedition of 1835-1843 and subsequently described by Newport, 

 were received.

The type of Siphonophora luteola, Gerv., and several Millipedes 

 which must be regarded as the co-types or topotypes of species 

 described by Gervais, from Colombia, were purchased from M. 

 Goudot. 



1861. 



12 species of Central American Myriopoda named by M. de 

 Saussure and alleged to be his types, were purchased from M. 

 Salle (see above, p. 698). 



From 1863-1873 and again in 1875 no return of Myriopoda 

 was made in the annual report of accession, nothing of sufficient 

 importance to deserve mention having been added to the 

 collection. 



1874. 



A valuable addition was made in the form of a series of 27 

 species of Myriopoda from Sweden, which were identified and 

 presented by Dr. A. Stuxberg. 



1876. 



50 Myriopoda referred to 12 species collected in Rodriguez 

 by Messrs. Gulliver and Slater, on the " Transit of Venus " 

 Expedition, were presented by the Royal Society. These species 

 were described by Mr. Butler in the Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist, for 

 that year, and subsequently in the " Philosophical Transactions," 

 vol. clxviii., for 1879. In this year also Dr. Stuxberg presented 

 a collection of Siberian Myriopoda containing the types or co- 

 types of 1 1 species described by himself in the Ann. Mag. Nat. 

 Hist, for 1876 (see p. 698).
