 (MEM), R. L. Jones (MMNS), K. R. Ahlstrom (NCDA), R. L. Blinn 

 (NCSU), J. A. Coddington (NMNH), and R. W. Brooks (SEM). The sight 

 records are courtesy of K. L. Manuel, Duke Power Company, and

 attention: D. L. Stephan, D. McCluskey, J. Weems, and E. Kunickis. 

 D. McCluskey explained the situation with C. hentzi at the Carteret 

 County condominiums; D. S. Lee reviewed a preliminary draft of the 

 manuscript; and R. N. Henson provided records of C. hentzi and 

 V. carolinianus from his private collection (RNH) and the NSC. W. D. 

 Sissom, West Texas A&M University, Canyon, Texas, and NCSM 

 arachnid research associate, provided the AMNH record of V. carolinianus, 

 advised on scorpions, and commented on a preliminary draft of 

 the paper. R. G. Kuhler, NCSM scientific illustrator, prepared Figures 

 4-5; Figure 1 is courtesy of D. J. Lyons, NCSM exhibits section.
