British Oribatidae e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Such anatomy as I am enabled to present to the public has not been traced without difficulty; the extremely minute size of the objects, the dark colour, Opacity, and excessive hardness and brittleness of the chitinous exo-skeleton, and the softness and delicacy of the internal parts have rendered the task far from easy. In describing the anatomy I have not relied on any previous writ'er without verification; indeed, I have endeavoured to carry the same system into the other parts of the book, and where I have been unable to do so I have called attention thereto.
