Two essentially nonoxidizable amino acid analogues, alpha-aminoisobutyrate and alpha-methylaspartate are shown to be attractants for E. coli, demonstrating that extensive metabolism of attractants is not required for amino acid taxis.

Although the data are inadequate, it appears that the Weber law may be observed over a wide range of concentrations for some attractants but not for others.

Millipedes were sampled by hand-collecting from plots and by pitfall trapping at three forest sites in central Tasmania to provide more accurate data on species diversity and relative abundance for a range of litter invertebrates.

Mutants of Escherichia coli K12 have been found which fail to carry out chemotaxis toward certain chemicals only, and there is a correlation between the galactoseChemotaxis defect and a defect in galactOSE uptake, perhaps indicating a common component for chemot axis and uptake systems.

Three unusual new Paradoxosomatidae are described from tropical north Queensland, which closely resembles the dragon millipedes Desmoxytes of southeast Asia, but differs in gonopod details.
