The spiders herein described complete the record of the 

 collections made by the above named Expeditions kindly entrusted 

 by the promoters to my care. The paper in which I described 

 the bulk of the collection appeared in Vol. XX. Part 14, of the 

 Transactions of this Society. 



This interesting addition to our previous knowdedge includes 

 some very beautiful forms of the exqiusitely spangled varieties 

 which in their small bodies rival the coloration of the brilliant 

 bird fauna in which New Gviinea is so rich. In spite of the 

 considerable amount of work devoted of late years by many able 

 contributors to collections brought from that country, it is evident 

 that much remains for future explorers before its numerous 

 species are exhausted. The proportion of new foi-ms to those 

 already known among these is about three to one.
