BRITISH ORIBATID^. 



from the published descriptions and plates, many of 

 which are extremely imperfect and even erroneous. 

 In most cases there are not any existing types which 

 can be referred to ; if it were possible to do so, it would 

 probably be found that many of the so-called species 

 were synonyms of one another, or even of species 

 described in this work as British, or were based upon 

 immature forms.
