PART II. 



CATALOGUE OF NORTH, CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN 

 SPIDERS INCLUDING ALL ADJACENT ISLANDS, WITH 

 COMPLETE SYNONYMY, REFERENCES TO PUB- 

 LICATIONS, YEARS, VOLUMES, PAGES AND 

 FIGURES, AS WELL AS TO LOCALITIES 

 INDICATED BY DIFFERENT 

 AUTHORS. 



In arranging this part I have followed the system of Eugene Simon 

 laid down in his " Histoire Naturelle des Araignees." For different reasons 

 discussed in the introduction I have arranged the genera of each family 

 alphabetically, allowing the families themselves to stand in the sequence 

 accepted by Simon. The only de\iation from Simon's system will be 

 found in the splitting of Simon's Argiopidie into two families, Linyphiidse 

 and Argiopidje. Where a species appears under a generic name differing 

 from the one under which it has been described originally and no author is 

 mentioned, I myself am responsible for the placing of the species. Some 

 species appear under obsolete genera, not found in Simon's system, simply 

 because it is not possible at present to place them properly. If there is a 

 difference in opinion regarding the generic position of species, the student 

 desiring to know all the species which have been placed by various authors 

 under any one genus and which are not to be found under that genus in 

 this, Part II, is directed to consult Part III.
