INTRODUCTION. 


IN  preparing  the  present  Catalogue,  the  principal  object 
has  been  to  give  a  complete  list  of  all  the  specimens  of  Myria- 
poda  contained  in  the  collection  of  the  British  Museum,  indi- 
cating, at  the  same  time,  the  peculiarities  of  each,  as  regard 
age,  sex,  variety  of  colouring,  condition,  habitation,  and  the 
source  from  whence  it  has  been  derived. 

With  this  view,  the  different  individuals  of  each  species 
contained  in  the  collection  are  indicated  by  the  letters  a,  6,  c, 
&c.,  following  the  name  of  the  species  and  its  synonymes. 

The  habitat  is  given  as  particularly  as  the  materials  pos- 
sessed by  the  Museum  permit.  The  specimens  which  have 
been  presented  to  the  Museum,  have  the  name  of  the  donor 
marked  immediately  after  the  habitat. 

The  collection  is  arranged  in  conformity  with  a  paper  on 
the  classification  of  these  animals,  lately  read  by  Mr.  Newport 
at  the  Linnean  Society,  which  will  appear  in  the  forthcoming 
volume  of  the  Transactions :  and  as  the  Museum  collection  has 
been  the  chief  source  from  whence  Mr.  Newport  has  derived 
his  materials,  they  may  be  regarded  as  the  type-specimens  of 
the  species  described  in  that  paper,  and  in  Mr.  Newport's  pa- 
per in  the  '  Annals  of  Natural  History.'  The  collection  also 
contains  the  type -specimens  of  the  species  described  by  Dr. 
Leach,  in  the  'Zoological  Miscellany;' — of  the  North-

VI  INTRODUCTION. 

American  species  described  by  Mr.  Thomas  Say  in  the  *  Trans- 
actions of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  of  Philadelphia  ;  ' 
also  by  myself,  in  Griffith's  translation  of  Cuvier's  '  Animal 
Kingdom.' 

To  give  some  idea  of  the  extent  of  the  collection,  I  may 
state  that  M.  Brandt,  in  his  Memoirs  in  the  'Bulletin  de 
1'Academie  Imperialedes  Sciences  de  St.  Petersbourg,'  the  last 
general  work  on  the  subject,  indicates  16  ascertained  and  9 
doubtful  species  of  Chilopoda,  and  117  ascertained  and  16 
doubtful  species  of  Chilognatha  :  the  Museum  collection  con- 
tains 94  species  of  the  former  and  75  of  the  latter  order,  the 
majority  of  which  appear  to  have  been  unknown  to  that  author.
