Sci., XLIV, p. 442. Chilopods furnished with a rich system of branching tracheal tubes, the stomata of which paired and open upon the pleural area of more or fewer of the somites. Each leg-bearing segment contains a distinct tergum and sternum, the number of sterna never exceeding that of are the terga. Eyes are either preserved or lost; when preserved they are represented either by single one-lensed ocellus or by an aggregation of such ocelli on each side of the head. The anterior portion of the head, bearing the labrum, is bent sharply downwards and backwards beneath the larger posterior portion lying 'behind the antennae, so that these appendages, ap proximated in the middle line, project directly forwards from the margin of the head formed by this retroversion of the labral area. The maxillae are short and have no sensory organ; the palpognaths consist of 4 segments, and the toxicognaths have their basal segments fused to for m a single coxal plate. a 1.
