Excerpt from British Tyroglyphidæ, Vol. 1 This work must be considered as a companion to my 'British Oribatidæ, ' published by the Ray Society as their volumes for 1883 and 1887, but it must not be concluded from this that I am going to continue the series so as to include the other families of Acarina. Life is short and science is long, the few years which I may have before me would be utterly insufficient for such a task. With the Tyroglyphidæ, as with the Oribatidæ, I have been forced to rely almost entirely upon my own collecting for the British species, for there practically are not any records to help me, a few scattered notices of individual species, and that is all. Therefore I cannot rely upon this book containing every species which exists in Britain, still, as the number of known species from anywhere is small, and as this book will be found to contain a large proportion of them, I think that I may fairly hope that the omissions from it are not numerous. Perhaps I have the better ground for this hope, as the absence of records of new British Oribatidæ since the date of my work on that group would appear as if tho collecting for it had been fairly exhaustive.
