The Phalangiidea are distributed among eight genera of two families. 
Trogulidce, 2 genera, 4 species. Phalangiidce, 6 genera, 18 species (one 
new). The Pseudo-Scorpiones are thus distributed ; Chernes 3, Chelifer 3, 
Chthonius 2, and Obisium 4 species. The only Acarid is a new species of

Records 33 species of Araneidea of various families and genera ; 30 
species being described as new. Two new genera of Theraphosidce and 
Thomuidoi are also characterized. Of Phalangiidea, two species (both 
new) are described, one being the type of a new genus {Psathyropus, 
allied to Liobunum). The distribution of the Araneidea is as follows ; — 
Epeiridce, 6 genera, 7 species ; Theridiidoi, 2 genera, 2 species : Filista- 
tiUce, 1 genus, 1 species; Agelenidoe, 3 genera, 6 species; Drassidce, 1 
genus, 1 species ; Theraphosidce, 1 genus, 1 species ; Thomisidce, 5 genera,

A list is given of 37 species of Araneidea, 3 of Solpugidea, 2 of Pseudo- 
Scorpiones {Chernetidce), 2 of Scorpiones, and 2 of Phalangiidea, collected

families, and 13 species are described as new : Drassidce, 4 ; Theridiidce, 
1 ; Dysderidce, . 1 ; Thomisidce, 3 ; Lycosidce, 4. The Phalangiidea are 
two species of Op^7^£>, both new. Of the Scorpiones ivio are new, both 
of 'the genus Buthus. The Pseudo-Scorpiones and Solpugidea are all of 
known species, excepting one of the latter (Gluvia).
