I. ON THE PSEUDOvSCORPIONS OF THE 

 INDIAN MUSEUM, CALCUTTA. 



By Edv. Ellingsen, Grdsvig, Fredriksstad. 



Our knowledge of the Pseudoscorpions of the western parts 

 of the British Indian Empire was hitherto very limited ; it was 

 therefore of great interest to me to examine the collection belong- 

 ing to the Indian Museum, Calcutta, and I take the opportunity 

 here to thank the authorities of this Museum for the liberality 

 with which this group of the collections has been placed at my 

 disposal.

 of Pseudoscorpions already known from the Indian Empire. They 

 are as follows : —
