The above reference will lurnish several others to works of 

 importance by H. J. Hansen and others on this family. It 

 may, however, be added that in the Proc. Acad. Phila- 

 delphia, p. 187, 1 89 1, Mr. J. E.Ives appends to his description 

 oiCirolana magara, n. sp. a list of 3 3 speciesof67r^/^;w which 

 had been named up to that date. This list was obviously 

 drawn up before the additions and corrections published by 

 Hansen in the preceding year with regard to this family 

 could have come under the author's notice. It has its own 

 independent value. 



A new genus, CalopistJnis, is added to the family by Miss 

 H. Richardson in the Trans. Connect. Acad., vol. 12, p. 289, 

 .1902.
