Mr. C. Warburton on Spiders from Madeira. 227 



twentj-four being known in Europe (fourteen in England), 

 eight in Africa, tliree in Asia, and two in America. 



It is probable that a more thorough acquaintance with the 

 AVest-African fauna would reveal a much closer connexion 

 between the Araneaj of that region and Madeira than our 

 present knowledge shows to exist.

N.B. — Simon professes himself unable to determine the syno- 

 nymy of the species of Salticus here described by Blackwall. That 

 author gives no figures, nor are his descriptions sufficient to deter- 

 mine with certainty to which of the genera into which the group 

 has since been divided the several species belong.
