The fourth section I omit for leasous stated in another part 

 of this paper. Up to the present ninety-eight species of this 

 genus were known as occurring in Australia, and iliis paper 

 brings up the total to 105. 



The Larger Angulate Araneas. 



This section contains all those of the larger species bearing 

 a pair of more or less prominent humps or tubercle-like 

 projections towards the anterior extremity of the abdomen. 

 Only two species falling into this section were collected by 

 ^Iv. Girault, one of which is the well-known Araneus productus, 

 L. Koch, and the other, a form now described as new — A. 

 acachmeuus. By far the gi'eater number of species collected 

 b}^ my friend were forms of moderate or small size.
