South African Onychophora

Abstract

ATTENTION has been directed in the Research Items in Nature of May 26 to a paper by Holliday1, on the habits of South African Onychophora, Opisthopatus cinctipes and Peripatopsis Moseleyi, from Natal. Both this work and an earlier publication by the same author2 have dispensed with the custom of reference to published literature.
