30. American Spiders and their Spinningwork. — A Natural His- 

 tory of the Orbweaving Spiders of the United States with speci^J regard 

 to their industry and habits. By Henry C. McCook, D.D. Vol. iii. 

 With descriptions of orbweaving species and plates (dated Academy of 

 Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, A. D. 1893, on the title page, but the 

 preface bears date of July 3, 1894, while the volume was received by the 

 Academy Dec. 17, 1894). With this third volume Dr. McCook completes 

 this book on the American spiders, of which the first volume appeared in 

 1S89, the second in 1890. The work, the author tells us, has engaged his 

 tiioughts for more than twenty years, and he naturally expresses his pro- 

 found satisfaction on having completed it. The News takes great pleas- 

 ure in congratulating him on this happy termination of his labors. The 

 third volume comprises 406 pages and thirty plates. Of the text, 131 

 pages and 98 figures therein treat of general habits, biological miscellany 

 and anatomical nomenclature, while the remainder is occupied by de- 

 scriptions of genera and species. The plates contain both plain and col- 

 ored illustrations of this latter part of the text.
