A law of the “bi-triangular medial concentration of the cephalic appendages” in the Chilopoda and the Insecta is propounded. According to it, the cephalic appendages lying in front of and behind the intercalary pair of appendages undergo a concentration, both in phylogeny and in ontogeny, toward the median line. In this way, two hypothetical triangles, termed the ‘anterior or procephalic triangle’ and the ‘posterior or gnathocephalic triangle’ are formed, having a common base in the level of the intercalary appendages. The cephalic appendages occupy roughly either the sides or the apices of the triangles and the degree of their final medial concentration is in direct proportion to their distance from the triangular base. Before the final bi-triangular condition is achieved by the appendages, varying types of transitory shiftings are passed through.
