MYRIOPODA. 



By E. I. PococK, 

 Assistant in the Zoological Department, British Museum. 



The island does not seem to be rich in members of this group, 

 since four species only were obtained in it. Tw^o of these appear 

 to be new to science, one being referable to the genus Geophilus, 

 the other to the genus Spiroholus. The others are the two wide- 

 spread tropical species^ Scolopendra morsitans (Linn.) and Fara- 

 desmvs c/racilis (C. Koch). 



Chilopoda.

Thirteen specimens were taken. Common under dung and 

 stones, at the east end of the main island and base of Peak 

 Garden and elsewhere. The bite is about as bad as a wasp's 

 sting.
