The present paper is based upon a study of several lots of chilopods and diplopods from the Bermudas, belonging chiefly to the Museum of Comparative Zoology, at Cambridge, Mass., and to the United States National Museum, at Washington, D. C. The collections embrace material secured by Prof. J. H. Comstock, in 1903, the Yale Expedition to the Bermudas in 1898, Prof. A. E. Verrill in 1901, Mr. Owen Bryant and Dr. Thomas Barbour in 1903, Dr. R. W. Glaser, Dr. G. B. Goode, and material from the Bermuda Biological Station for Research collected by Prof. E. L. Mark in 1903, and Dr. W. L. Crozier in HH7 and 1918. An examination of this material has brought to light all species previously recorded and six species not previously known to occur upon the islands, bringing the total of chilopods and diplopods together to fifteen species.
