* Simon reunites the genera Chelifer and Chej'ties, which were separated by Menge, 

 who was followed by L. Koch. He claims that the characters hitherto regarded as 

 generic, are merely gradal, and that while certain widely separated species have these 

 characters clearly marked, in others they gradually approach each other. In deference 

 to American writers I leave them for the present. Cf. Les Arachnides de France, vii., 

 19 (1879).
