bis expedition to the Kilimanjaro district sonie few years 

 ago none is represented in this collection. This proves the 

 diversity of the fauna of the two countries. The analogy 

 in certain respects is, however, apparent. There is for in- 

 stance in either collection a species of each of the genera 

 Butlms, Parabutlms, and Uroplecies but these species are not 

 identical. 



The only species of Solifugce represented belongs to the 

 Somalifauna, and is not included in the Kilimanjaro collection. 



Buthidae. 



Buthus polystictus Poc. 



Tn the thornbush country north of Gkiaso N^^iri river, 

 at Njoro, in Febr. 1911 two specimens were found under logs, 

 and dry palm-leaves. 



This species was hitherto known from Somaliland. 



Parabuthus pallidus Poc. 



Four specimens from Njoro, Febr. 1911, and one speci- 

 men from the northern bank of Guaso Nyiri below Chanler 

 Falls V-n 1911. 



This species was originally described on two specimens 

 from Mombasa. Its distribution is thus extended about five 

 deorees further to the north. 



Lychas burdai Sm. 



A couple of specimens from the northern side of Guaso 

 Nyiri below Chanler Falls in March 1911. 



Kr^pelin records^ the distribution of this species with 

 the following words: »Deutsch-Ost-Afrika, vomKilima-Ndjaro 

 bis zum Nyassa-See». The discovery of its occurrence as 

 far north as at the locality mentioned above extends its area 

 of distribution in a very considerable degree so that it almost 

 equals that of the following species.
