 line 51. 



Latrellle included under this name two groups : — A. '* Los 

 Chercheuses," Walk. Faun. Par. p. 218 (1802) ; and B. " Lea 

 Sautouses," id. p 24.'i ; quotiiii^ tlie foUowin;^ species : (1) 

 Aranea cinnaberina, Oliv. — if/uttati, U )ssi ; (2) Aranea 

 scenica, Linn.; {',]) Anviei fonn/'caria, De Geer. 



This genus, which included also a number of other species 

 — A. tardiyrada, poinatia^ chalybeia, jMi/l/a, cuprea, coronata, 

 virgulata, pitbesnens, riidicofens, fontalis, lunulata, bicolor, cal- 

 lida, nigra, tripunctata, litterata, and inuscorum — under " Les 

 Sauteuses," was first split up by Walckenaer in the following 

 year 1805 in the ' Tableau,' pp. 21 & 22. lie withdrew 

 first A. cinnaberina under Eresus (p. 21), and next (p. 22) 

 under Attus all the other species named, leaving nothing 

 under SalticuSj and ignoring it altogether. 



No further subdivision or selection in connexion with these 

 two last-named genera took place until 1810, when Litreille 

 definitely selected A. scenica, Fabr., as the type of Salticus, 

 Consid. g{5n. Nat. Ord. Crust., Arach. et Ins. p. 423. 



Thorell has evidently overlooked this selection of types by 

 Latreille in 1810; and most authors have followed Sundevall, 

 who, in 1832, selects under Salticus, typus, S. formicarius, 

 De Geer, a selection which of course cannot stand.

[Plates I. & ir.J 



Towards the end of 1899 Mr. Henry Suter sent me a series 

 of examples of various New Zealand land-mollusks preserved 

 in alcohol, and expressed a wish that I would give some 

 account of their internal anatomy. I take this opportunity 

 of expressing to him my best thanks for his kindness. 

 About the same time .Mr. William Mo.ss, of Ashton-undcr- 

 Lyne, sent me sj)ecimensof Schizoghssa novoseelandica, Pfr. ; 

 to him also my best thanks are here tendered. Finally, my 

 best thanks are due to the Council of the Birmingham Natural
