Some random notes on the mite fauna of Limburg with the description of two new species. Natuurhistorisch Maandblad, 43: 19-24.

Abstract
In the early part of September of 1951, I had the pleasure of visiting the province of Limburg accompanied by Prof. Dr H. Boschma and Dr LD Brongersma of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historic Leiden. While we were in the environs of the castle of Neercanne we were able to do some desultory collecting of the free living and mostly plant inhabiting mites of the area. On subsequent examination most of the specimens taken proved to be fairly common and well known European mites, a few were representatives of described but little known species and two appeared to be new. In addition to the mites from Limburg I have included the report of a few species, which were again found on plants, but this time growing on the sand dunes of behind Noordwijk aan Zee, province of Zuid-Holland. Also some mites from Zaltbommel, province of Gelderland, are reported upon
