The paper of which this is an abstract, was not seen by the Recorder for 
1881. It is an attempt at supplying a pedigree of the Cliilopoda, founded 
on anatomical and embryological considerations. Myriopoda and Insecta 
seem to be derived from a common ancestral form. The Protosymphyla , 
which form ono of the divisions arising from PrototracJicata , aro the 
ancestors of the Symphyla , Thysanura , and Protochilopoda. Proto- 
chilopoda divido into Protanamorpha (from which tho Lithohiidw and 
Scutigeridcc are descended) and Protepimorpha , from which recent Chi- 
lopoda Epimorpha are descended, through Protoscolopendridce and Proto- 
geophilidce.

In the median ventral line of Himantarium gabrielis are situated disks, 
one to each foot-bearing segment, each disk being about 2 mm. in 
diameter in the adult ; in the centre of these disks open about a hundred 
ducts, each springing from a long pyriform gland ; the structure of these 
glands, and their relations to the nervous and tracheal systems, are 
described. These glands secrete a red liquid which has an acid reaction, 
and coagulates in air ; its composition is analogous to that of silk. If the 
animal be irritated it turns up its ventral surface, and the disks become 
covered with the fluid, so that possibly they serve as a means of defence.
