INTRODUCTION. 
In number of papers the following Record is about equal to its prede¬ 
cessor and once again the majority of the papers are systematic in 
character so that very little can be said by way of introduction. 
The largest work of the year is Attems’ “System der Polydesmiden, 
Theil id The classification of this section of Myriopods is always interest¬ 
ing and Attems’ memoir promises to mark a step onward in our knowledge 
of the group. Besides systematic descriptions of new and old species the 
memoir gives an account of morphology and classification of Polydesmidae. 
Pocock’s memoir on the Zephroniidae of the Oriental Region and 
Verhoeff’s papers on Palaearctic Myriopods come next in importance. 
Kenyon has described a curious new Diplopod from Mexico and made 
it the type of a new family— Decaporodesmidce, Cook on the Geopkiloidea 
of the Florida Keys is of importance
