Scolopendrella seems to be more nearly related to the Chilognatha than 
to the Chilopoda. It appears to be “ the descendant of a group of 
Myriopods, from which the Campodece, Thysanura , and Collembola may 
have sprung, looking upon the three latter groups as the living represen- 
tatives of the extinct stock from which the various orders of insects 
have originated.’’ Scolopendrella presents several features of Peripatus — 
two-clawed feet and segmental organs.. These latter are what Ryder 
thought were breathing organs. The trachea are without spiral thicken- 
ings in their walls. Fresh somites appear to be intercalated at each moult 
between the antepenultimate and penultimate sterna.
