1. Bothropolys asperatus Koch is one of the centipedes found most commonly in the Area forests, and widely distributed over the Far East. 2. From the results shown in Tables 1 and 2, it is concluded that the female of this species lays about 130-190 eggs from the early part of March to the latter part of September. These eggs are creamy yellow in colour and spheres of 0.8mm in diameter. They are completely covered with minute mud, and then laid on the surface of rotten leaves, pieces of decaying wood and others. The incubation period of the egg at room temperature, 27-31℃, is about 20-30 days. The appearance of the Foetus is continued from the late part of May to the middle of October, and it has the peak in August (See Tables 1 and 2.) 3. The hemianamorphic development of this species is divided into eleven growing stadia, each of them showing morphological characters as summarized in Tables 4 and 5. This species has not the stadium "larva media." 4. Owing to the long oviposition period, animals are different in growth from one another at the first year of life as shown in Figure 2. But this difference is shortened within the second year, the animals attain their sexual development, and they become mature in the third year. Before becoming mature, the animals usually molt ten to twelve times. Some individuals can live for four years under breeding, and have about fifteen times of molting throughout their life. In the area they go into hibernation from the end of November to February of the next year. 5. Under laboratory breeding, these animals were fed with Collembola, Drosophila, small mothes and butterflies. 6. The leg-regeneration of this species has two types; one is closely similar to the regeneration type of Lithobius and the other to that of Scutigera. It has an intimate relation to the growing stadia (See Table 6).
