A Marine Millipede

Abstract

BRITISH naturalists, especially such as work on the south coast, will hear with interest that Mr. J. Sinel has lately found in Jersey the very curious marine Millipede, Geophilus submaritima, Grube (Verh. d. schles. Gesellsch., 1872). Dr. Latzel, of Vienna, tells me that the specimens differ somewhat from the type, and probably constitute a well-marked variety. Some examples were found close to the low-water mark of very low spring tides, where they could not be exposed more than two days in a fortnight.
