%X The ¡®Hesse collection¡¯ of spiders (Araneae) and harvestmen (Opiliones) in the Museum f¨¹r Naturkunde Berlin is documented. Biographical notes on Erich Hesse ¨C a former arachnid curator at the museum (1921¨C1940) ¨C are provided. The ¡®Hesse collection¡¯ was actually put together by other workers, and can be broadly divided into two parts. One comes from Bielinek (= Bellinchen) on the Polish side of the Oder Valley (West Pommerania); now part of the ¡®Unteres Odertal¡¯ National Park. This Bielinek material includes notable records of Heriaeus oblongus Simon, 1918 and Gibbaranea ullrichi (Hahn, 1835). The other part of the collection comes from Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Notable here are Pistius truncatus (Pallas, 1772) and Philodromus buchari Kubcov¨¢, 2004; the latter representing the first record of this species for Saxony-Anhalt.
