On their return to Russia, Prof. V. A. D o g i e 1 and Dr. 

 I. 1. Sokolow, members of a Russian Zoological Expedition to 

 British East Africa, brought home a valuable series of zoolo- 

 gical specimens for scientific , investigation. The scorpions 

 came into my hands for determination and form the subject- 

 matter of a communication, which f published in 19J5 under 

 the title «Weitere Bemerkungen liber die Scorpionenfauna 

 Britisch Ost-Afrikas» '). As far as the present paper is concer- 

 ned, it contains a synopsis of all the species of the order 

 Scorpions known to occur in British East Africa.
