Abstract
THIS is a second volume only by date and binding; otherwise it is part and parcel of the first, completing the story with all the scientific skill in description and illustration, the critical acumen, and the due proportion of enlivening touches to which attention was directed in these columns two years ago. An annotated list of the principal known or supposed species, not hitherto recorded as British, is a valuable supplement, here thrown in as a free gift beyond the requirements of the title. An interesting addition to the group of cheese-mites is furnished by the new genus and species, Fusacarus laminipes, a little fusiform broad-legged acarid discovered by Mr. Michael in moles' nests, sometimes abundant, yet not present in every nest, and never observed upon the mole itself. Among statements of economic importance may be noted the author's remarks on Tyroglyphus longior, Gervais. Of this he says.
