tion is analogous to the singularity observed in the Araneidse and Libellulidm; 
in Geophilus and by analogical inference in the rest of the Chilopoda, impreg¬ 
nation takes place in a mode analogous (with a difference) to that common 
in fishes. The embryological observations were made on Polydesmus compla- 
natus, Julus aterrimus, Glomeris marginata, Polyxenus lagurus, Lithobius for- 
cipatus, Scutigera araneoides, Crytopshortensis and savignii, Scolopendra com- 
planata, Geophilus ilicis and electricus; and in most cases the development was 
followed out from the egg through the subsequent stages. (Filippi) New observa¬
