On the Collembola of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia
Abstract:
In 1957 appeared an important zoogeographical work by Lindroth on the faunal connection between Europe and North America. In that work many species of animals common to both these continents, but with exception of those occurring on arctic islands, are taken by the author under consideration. The group of Apterygota is omitted in the list although at that time many species of the Collembola were already registered from North America. Only from the New Foundland no one species of this group was known so far. I have thus willingly examined the specimens of Collembola group found in the material collected by eminent Polish zoologists Prof. S. Feliksiak and Prof. T. Jaczewski during their zoogeographical studies on Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, in 1938. The number of these species, caught occasionaly, is unfortunately small, restricted to 15 ones only, all being, however, new to the fauna of these islands and one new to science.
