720 MR. F. 0, PICKARD CAMBRIDGE ON [June 16, 
published in ‘Sonderabdruck aus Mittheilungen aus dem Oster- 
lande,’ neue Folge, V. Band, pp. 200-248, while Dr. Goeldi was 
still in the neighbourhood of Rio Janeiro, deals with the general 
question of the state of knowledge of the Spider-fauna of Brazil 
at the time he wrote. This pamphlet, entitled “ Zur Orientierung 
in der Spinnenfauna Brasiliens,” falls into four sections, the third 
of which is divided again into four subdivisions. 
I. “Der Stand der Kenntnis der brasilianischen Arachniden vor 
1880.” 
Il. “ Erweiterungen seit 1880.” 
IIL. “Versuch einer Charakteristik der Spinnenfauna der mittleren 
Kiistenprovinzen Brasiliens.” 
A. “Die Spinnerfauna der Stadt Rio de Janeiro, beziehungsweise 
ibrer niichsten Umgebung.” 
B. “Die Spinnenfauna des Urwaldgebietes der heissen Nieder- 
ung.” 
C. “Die Spinnenfauna des Urwaldgebietes des Orgelgebirges 
(Provinz Rio de Janeiro).” 
D. “Spinnen aus dem Nertao der Provinz Sao Paulo.” 
IV. “Einige Beobachtungen iiber das Geschlechtsleben einzelner 
Epeiriden Brasiliens.” 
This short though comprehensive treatise forms a valuable intro- 
duction to the subject, and is written in the German language.

summary of the species of Zheraphoside described by the various
