Acknowledgements are due to Dr, Hor­ ace Gunthorp for his supervision of the work, for his help­ ful advice and comments, and for the use of his literature on the Diplopods; and to Mr. Clair Hannum for his assistance in German translations, for his advice relative to histo­ logical technique, and for his help with the plates. Identification of Specimen This diplopod has been identified on the basis of Chamberlin’s description published in 1923. His specimens were collected in 1921, at Sonora, Mexico. Finding representatives of the species in Tucson is a new record in this State. Review of Literature The diplopod literature dealing with systematic classification is abundant, while that cover- 85800 2 ing anatomy and histological structure is very limited. The first work along the latter lines was that of Pla­ teau (1876), who studied the digestive systems of several chilopods and diplopods without sectioning methods, and therefore gave only very general pictures. In 1886, Keathcote presented the embryology of Julus terrestris. Little has been done in this field since, and his work stands as the foundation upon which most of the diplopod embryology is based. Relative to the alimentary tract, he found that the stomodaeum and the proctodaeum were formed by invaginations of the ectoderm, the midgut was formed from cells that remain within the yolk after the formation of the blastoderm, the malpighian tubules originated from the proctodaeum, and the salivary glands were mesodermal in origin. Krug (1907) concerned himself with the anatomy and histology of three species of diplopods, Blanlulus ^attulatus. Julus foetldus. and J. sabulosus, all European forms. His findings were confirmed or corrected by Ver- hoeff (1915) and Random (1924). Verhoeff published a mono­ graph on the diplopods of Germany in which he gave a com­ plete histology of their alimentary tracts along with a discussion of the mouth parts and head glands. He studied a great many forms, especially the Julidae, and often corrected Krug, but apparently he was not always right in his corrections. His histological studies form only a small portion of his entire work. Random made an intensive 3 study of the morphology and physiology of the alimentary . tracts of theJulidaeof which he studied nine different spedieei including these that Krug smirked on.

The latter fact accounts for the current name of "rainworm" given to the animal by the natives of the state! In cold weather they are very seldom observed, and probably live under .ground* - ' All animals obtained were mature and well- protected by a heavy exoskeleton, thus making it impossible 4 to sootldh the whole body, as Hefner did with Para.Itilua la* prosaus. After the animals had been collected, some were killed v/ith ether or cyanide and disseoted immediately, while ethers were killed in Bonin's fixative and disseoted at a later date • The first method proved most satisfacte^^ as the gut could bo removed In a much better condition. Oh the whole dissection was a difficult and tedious task due to the hard exoskeleton of chitin which covers the animals, and to the intricate manner in which the cnfrali are overlapped. The exoskeie^On lies very close to the alimentary tract and in removing it care must be taken to prevent serious injury to the gut. This is especially true when the gut Is dlstended with food. The animals invariably die in a spirally coiled condition, but this caused ho trouble. ; Gross dissection was accomplished by cutting a long V-shaped groove out of the paraffin in a dis­ secting pan, and placing the specimen in the groove in such a manner as to leave the dorsal surface free from’ -and above the level of the paraffin. The sides of the paraffin were then melted down over the legs of the animal, and if necessary, other melted wax was poured into the groove and allowed to harden. In this way the animal was firmly held, in position by the paraffin which covered its appendages and its ventral and ventre-lateral surfaces. The wak was thoroughly hardened by immersion in water, and the exoskeleton cut along the lateral margins as low down as possible with a knife or a small pair 5 of scissors• As soon as both sides of;the a nmiM had been severed, the entire dorsal half uas lifted off. Due to the intricate overlapping of the annuli, it was discovered that if a third and dorsal out were mad®, the rings of the exo- skeleton eould be more easily removed in two pieces than in one. All dissection was done under a normal saline solu­ tion. The more difficult cuts were performed with the aid of a dissecting microscope. Upon the removal of the alimen­ tary canal, it was cut into pieces about half an inch long, and thoroughly washed. The latter is necessary because small pieces of sand often get lodged betimen the folds in the gut. Qrthoporus puhctilliger is a vegetable feeder, but it lives underground and consequently gets grit into the digestive tract. The tissues were fixed In Bonin's fluid for twelve hours, a M toen transferred to 70^ alcohol to which a little lithium carbonate had been added. When all the picric acid had been removed, the tissues were de- hydrated and cleared by running them through mixtures of butyl and ethyl alcohol in the following proportions: 1. 40 parts 95f0 ethyl §0 parts water — 50% 10 parts butyl 2. 50 parts 95% ethyl 25 parts water - - - - - 70% 20 parts butyl 3. 60 parts 95% ethyl 10 parts water - - - - 9U% 30 parts butyl 4. 60 parts 95% ethyl 7 ; ' 40 parts butyl » » - 1CXK V - 5.

The tissues were placed,on the hardened paraffin, covered, with butyl alcohol and left in the oven until they sank to the bottom of the vial# They then were transferred^into the first of four changes of melted paraffin in which they remained for thirty minutes each.

HOFFMAN Department of Biology Virginia Polytechnic Institute SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION • WASHINGTON, D. C. • 1958 Publications of the United States National Museum The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, contains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type specimens, special collections, and other material of similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few in- stances. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Contribu- tions from the United States National Herbarium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

Although many groups of insects appear in the German Red Lists, small and inconspicuous soil or- ganisms, among them millipedes and centipedes, have in the past been ignored.

Abstract: The present catalogue completes (as the second of the two parts) data for the millipede collection of Czech arachnologist František Miller (1902–1983), housed in the National Museum in Prague. This second part of the catalogue brings information on a total of 341 specimens belonging to 34 millipede species; these specimens were previously housed at Charles University in Prague, and later moved to the National Museum. The material was collected during 1927–1950 in the territory of modern-day Czechia and Slovakia. Chelogona carpathicum, Polydesmus tatranus and Trachysphaera acutula are species of special importance for Slovak faunistics, due to their endemic occurrence. Glomeris klugii is the first record for Slovakia. For Leptoiulus noricus and Polydesmus inconstans, these are chronologically the oldest records from the territory of Slovakia.
