Description |
The investigation of which the results are recorded in this report was to determine as far as possible the character of the myriopod fauna of the Philippine Islands and to lay a foundation for further work under the following two lines or topics: a. The general taxonomic composition of the myriopod fauna and any evidence it might possibly yield toward filling gaps in the prevalent system of classification. b. The zoogeographical affinities of the fauna and evidence as to its derivation. |
