INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 



* 



As an appendix to the report of Professor Tuomey, on the Geology of 

 South Carolina (Columbia, 1848), appeared a list of the fauna of the 

 State, prepared by Prof. Lewis R. Gibbes. To the portion of that list 

 upon the invertebrata, the present paper may be considered as a supple- 

 mait, so far as the classes Insecta, Arachnida, and INIyriapoda are con- 

 cerned, and as a revision of the remainder of the list, including many 

 species since described, and others which have since been found to form 

 part of the fauna of the State. For the portion of the list relating to the 

 Insecta, I am myself responsible. With regard to the order Araneina 

 (spiders), I have been enabled, through the kindness of Mr. George 

 Marx, of Washington, to present not only a list of the described species, 

 but to add to it a large number of undescribed species, indicated by Mr. 

 Marx's manuscript names. The list of Myriapoda I have compiled from 

 Prof. H. C. Wood's monograph of this group. For the remainder of the 

 list, beginning with the Crustacea, Mr. Henry W. Turner, of the U. S. 

 Geological Survey, is responsible. He has carefully compared Prof. 

 Gibbes' list with the more recent publications, and the list is as accurate 

 as the limited time and material will allow.
