in this region in the Pedipalpi, namelv twelve. Further- 
more, there is the same inequality in the number 
between the tergites and sternites, the former being one 
in excess of the latter«. — And in an appertinent foot- 
note: »The last somite has not, so far as I am aware, 
been previously recognized as such. It is, except in 
distended specimens, almost entirely concealed inside 
what is apparently the last, namely the eleventh, but 
which is in reality the last but one.« This representa- 
tion is, however, not quite correct, and if Pocock had 
read Arthr. Dan. and the work of Croneberg, which 
are both known to him, he would hardly have written 
quite so. I do not indeed know Garypus litoralis, but 
in Arthr. Dan. p. 517—18 I have mentioned a similar 
large (not described) species of Garypus from St. 
Thomas, and I have stated that I have found the fore- 
most, counted from behind the 11th, sternite by flexing 
the abdomen into an angle with the cephalothorax, this 
method being necessary, because the sternite is narrow 
and almost overlapped by the sternum and the last pair 
of coxe. Croneberg states (op. cit. pag. 420) that he 
has found in Chernes »eine leichte quere Chitinverdick- 
ung«. — Later I have found on a microscopical pre- 
paration of Obisium muscorum a distinet Ist sternite 
between the basal portion of the posterior pair of coxx. 
In Arthr. Dan. I remarked (p. 525—26) about the 11th 
segment 1): In Obrsiince the dorsal and ventral sternite 
are, however, coalesced into a completely undivided ring, 
!) As the general representation in Arthr. Dan. is written in 
Danish, a language which the arachnologists of the great 
nations seem to regard quite as difficult to read as Japanese 
and accordingly not pay any attention to, I shall translate 
this and the following quotations of my work in English, 
while the other quotations are given in the original language.
