Spiders of Great Britain. 



The Rev. O. P. Cambridge completed, in 1881, the publication of a 

 monograph on the " Spiders of Dorset " (in the Proceedings of the Dorset 

 Natural History and Antiquarian Field Club), and in a subsequent 

 article has added several other species, and given the statistics of the 

 Arachnid fauna of Great Britain. It appears therefrom that " the num- 

 ber of spiders recorded in Great Britain and Ireland is 620 ; but there is 

 little doubt that this number might be considerably increased by diligent 

 search in many as yet untried localities, especially when we consider 

 that a small area of Dorsetshire alone has produced nearly 400 species." 



New England Theridiid Spiders. 



An illustrated monograph of the spiders of the family of Theridiids 

 inhabiting New England has been published by Mr. J. H. Emerton, 

 almost the only student of the spiders in the United States. As might, 

 therefore, be expected from a field so little cultivated, a very large pro- 

 portion of the species was previously undescribed. One hundred and 

 thirty-four species of the family have been described and illustrated 

 by Mr. Emerton, and of these no less than 85 were "new." — (Verrill in
