The results of a week-long exploration, which was conducted on the soil mite of Mt. Paektu area by our team of the Ecological Society of Korea from July 22nd till July 27th of 1997, are as follows. All mite were picked and examined from the soil of 2,000 cm$^{2}$ from eight respective zones. The total number collected was 384 individuals with 20 families, 33 genera, 38 species including 42 individuals of unknown species. They were classified and identified as 13 families 18 genera 22 species of Oribatei, 4 families 11 genera 12 species of Mesostigmata, 2 families 3 genera 3 species of Prostigmata. Among them 5 species of Laelaptidae, Ascidae and Uropodidae couldn't be classified and identified owing to the shortage of reference. in alphine tundra zone 91 individuals were found, which outnumbered than that of the other surveyed areas. The mite that existed evenly in all around the surveyed areas was Tectocepheus sp. and 32 individuals of them were collected from the virgin forest zone. A comparatively small number of mite was found from sungsaha and the intersection of three streets in Mt. Paektu and Songkangjin town, which accoumts for soil picking from unsuitable places.

This study is canled for tanonomical investigation of Olibatid mites on landscape plan& As the results, thirteen species of Oribatid mites on the plants are described for the first time from Korea. but the harmfulness caused by the mites is not yet proved The mites are Tuberemoeus singularis Sellnick, Zygoribatulo elongoto Hammer. Scahperemaeus yamashitoi Aoki, Oribatula sakamori Aoki, Camis~a segnis (Hemann), Scheloribates Jatipes (Koch), Oppiella nova (Oudemans), Lauroppia neerlondica (Oudemans), Hemileius sp.. Oripodo sp., Twncopes sp.. and Tectocehpeus sp. etc. Among them, Tuberemaeus singularis and Zygoribotulo elongatn are recorded from Korea for the first time And three lalvae are found out at intestine of one specimen of Tuberemoeus singularrs Sellnick which is collected on Cryptomerio japonica D, in Chep (Seoguipo). Therefore, thls mite seems to be ovoviviparous.
