128 H. WALLIS KEW : AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF 



1885 ; and about this time, also, appeared the first contributions 

 to this subject by H. J, Hansen — master of essential detail and 

 inimitable draftsman — whose works were published at Copen- 

 hagen in 1884-5. His " Arthrogastra Danica : en monographisk 

 Fremstilling af de i Danmark levende Meiere og Mosskorpioner, 

 med Bidrag til sidstnsevnte Underordens Systematik " (Nat.- 

 hist. Tids. (3), xiv. pp. 491-544). and the beautifully illustrated 

 account of the same animals in " Zoologia Danica " (4de. Hefte, 

 Spindeldyr), though long neglected by " the arachnologists of 

 the great nations," far surpass in value anything previously done 

 in this Order.

(1) From Dorsetshire and Yorkshire : Chernes nodosus (Sclir.) 

 = Chelifer [Chernes) nodosus Schr. (2) From Dorsetshire, among 

 moss in woods in the neighbourhood of Bloxworth : Chthonius 

 tenuis L. Koch. (3) From Kent, received in 1880 from Mr. 

 W. P. Haydon, of Dover, found by that gentleman in his oil- 

 mills : Chelifer subruher Sim. = Chelifer (Withius) subruber Sim. 

 The last was almost certainly imported ; but it appears to have 

 established itself in Britain (cf. Kew, 38).

Records Ohisium simile L. Koch, presumably from near They- 

 don Bois ; but the species intended is Ohisium muscorum Leach. 

 The explanation of this and other records of Ohisium simile as 

 British is that Simon (22) confused Ohisiuin simile L. Koch and 

 Ohisium muscorum Leach under the former name and applied 

 Leach's name to another species (cf. Cambridge, 27 ; and Kew, 

 38). 



In 1887, L. Balzan commenced at Asuncion (Paraguay) his 

 " Chernetidje nonnullge Svid-Americange "; and, in 1888, pub- 

 Ushed his " Osservazioni morfologiche e biologiche sui Pseudo- 

 Scorpioni del Bacino dei Fiumi Parana e Paraguay." In 1888, 

 also, appeared at Moscow (Bui. Soc. Nat., n. s., ii. pp. 416-61) 

 Croneberg's " Beitrag zur Kenntniss des Baues der Pseudo- 

 scorpione " : a work of much service in the study of this Order.
