Family SPRERinXE. 



This family is reviewed in Trans. Wagner Institute, vol. ill, part 

 vi, pp. 1439-60, and a summary of the arrangement adopted is also 

 given in Proceedings Biological Society of Washington, xvi, pp. 5-8, 

 1903. This arrangement in effect is that which is adopted on the 

 present occasion. The specific synonymy is mainly due to the late 

 Temple Prime, who kindly named the Alaskan specimens collected 

 previous to his death. Some later arrivals have been examined by Dr. 

 Sterki. I have seen no specimens or figures of the species from Port 

 Clarence named by Westerlund, and they are introduced on his author- 

 ity. It is probable that a considerable reduction will eventually be had 

 in the number of nominal species, especially of Corneocyclas .
