134 H. WALLIS KEW : AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF 



additions to the British fauna are made ; but our knowledge of 

 the range northwards, more especially along the west coast, of 

 several species is greatly extended ; and the pages are crowded 

 with observations on the natural historv of the animals. 

 Chthonius orthodactylus (Leach), not seen by the author, is 

 erroneously listed for Scotland.

Records, from Glengariff, Co. Cork, a large Ohisium (0. mus- 

 corum Sim., nee Leach), found in 1909, on a rocky wooded 

 hill-side, in moulting- and brood-nests under the outer bark 

 of Arbutus-trees [and in 1910, in the same place, under the 

 same conditions, and in rock-crevices and among dead leaves]. 

 = Obisium Caxpenteri nom. nov. The animal is unknown in 

 Britain.

 and Ireland. Proc. Royal Irish Academy, xxix. B., pp. 38-64. 

 Dublin, 1911. 



This memoir, of 27 pages and three plates, attempts to place 

 our knowledge of the British and Irish species on a firm basis. 

 The classification is derived from Balzan, Hansen, and With ; 

 but gives less weight to the presence or absence of the " galea " ; 

 etc. Brief comparative descriptions, and outline figures (in- 

 tended primarily to illustrate the general shape of the palps), 

 are given of 22 species. One of them, found in manure-heaps 

 etc. and on flies' legs in several localities, is an addition to the 

 fauna : Chelifer (Chemes) Godfrey! sp. nov. 



An able and adequately illustrated account of the false- scorpions 

 known in Switzerland : " Catalogue des Invert^bres de la Suisse : 

 Pseudoscorpions," by Dr. R. de Lessert, was published by the 

 Museum d'Histoire naturelle de Geneve, in 1911.
