the mites have 35 species and the Pseudoscorpions 16 species; there 

 are 6 daddy-long-legs. 



The affinity of the fauna is with that of the general coast fauna of 

 the Southern States; the southern tip shows relation to the Wee^t 

 Indies. Few species are abundant in specimens, but there are many 

 genera represented. The Pseudoscorpions are more abundant than 

 anywhere else in our country. All but about twenty species are in 

 the writer's collections; these few exceptions being chiefly species 

 recorded by Dr. Marx. 



Of noteworthy mention, one ma}^ refer to three species for the first 

 time recorded from our country: Theridium volatile Keys., previoush' 

 knowTi from northern South America; Cupiemiius sallei Keys., known 

 from IMexico and Central America, and Wala grenada Peck., recorded 

 from several West Indian localities. Several other spiders which have 

 a tropical distribution have previously been recorded from southern 

 Florida. Characteristic ones are Wagneria tauricorms, Epeira spini- 

 gera, E. undecimtuherculata, Leucauge argyra, Hcteropoda venatoria and 

 Opisthacanthus elatiis. The occurrence of a Gamasid mite of the cosmo- 

 tropical genus Megisthanus is also of much interest. Other rare and 

 curious forms are Gamasomorpha floridana, Didyna floridana, Kaira 

 alba and Phidippus pidcherimmus. Thirteen species are described as 

 new — eight spiders, three mites and two scorpions. 



In 1892-93 Dr. Einar Tonnberg visited Florida and made a small 

 collection of spiders, chiefly from Orange county. Dr. Albert Tullgren 

 has reported on this collection, describing eleven species as new. They 

 are as follows : 



Aysha orlandensis = Anyphcena gracilis Hentz. 



Lycosa angusta = Lycosa lenta Hentz. 



Lycosa alhopuncta = Lycosa riparia Hentz. 



Lycosa (Pirata) loennbergi=Sosippus floridanus Simon. • 



Lycosa {Pirata) transversolineata — unknown to me. 



Pardosa bilohata = Pardosa milvina Hentz. 



Pardosa longispinata — unknown to me. 



Oxyopes laminaius = Oxyopes scalaris Hentz. 



Phidippus clarconensis — Phidippus insoleiis Hentz. 



Phidippus oaklandensis = Phidippus cardinalis Hentz. 



Phidippus bilincatus — unknown to me, but I think it can scarcely be 

 new.
