'ur knowledge regarding the Pseudoscorpions of Japan has, 

 until now been limited to two species, Chelifer hicarinatus E. 

 Simon, and Gh. boncicus Karsch. The collections made during 

 the last two years — 1904, 1905 — by Mr. Hans Sauter, have 

 therefore been of great interest. Besides the two species men- 

 tioned above, the collections contained 8 moi'e species of which 

 no less than seven had to be described as new. The occurrence 

 of the genus Microcreagris is interesting though not surprising, 

 only one species from China, Micr, gigas Balzan, being hitherto 

 known. Besides a variety of this, two new species of the genus 

 were present in the collections. 



The localities where Mr. Sauter took the animals, are the 

 following: 



Kanagawa, a small town, north of Yokohama. 



Kuenji, a Buddhist monastery in the province of Koshu or 

 Kai, north of Shizuoka. 



Negishi, a village, south of Yokohama. 



Okayama, the capital of the province of Bizen. 



Ooyama, a mountain in the province of Sagami. 



Tdkahiyama, a hill near Kanagawa. 



Yamanaka, a village in the province of Suruga, on the 

 western declivity of the Hakone Mountains.
