The present paper contains a list of the Spiders collected by 

 Dr. Plate on a voyage extending from Tumbez in Korth Peru, 

 down the coast of Cbili, to Cape Horn. The collection contained 

 nineteen species, of which seven are new to science. One species 

 has been described in MS. for some years by Mr. E. I. Poeoclf, 

 of the British Museum of Natural History, and this description 

 has recently been published. There is nothing very striking or 

 noteworthy in this collection, although all spider-forms are 

 interesting from whatever part of the world they come. 



There is one curious point to be noted. Two species taken in 

 the island of Juan Pernandez, 500 miles west of Valparaiso, are 

 identical with examples which are indigenous to JSTorthern Europe, 

 namely Teutana grossa and Dysdera crocota. These spiders are, 

 however, found almost all over the world, so that their presence 

 in Juan Fernandez is not perhaps so astonishing, when we find 

 them also in the Sandwich and Cape Verde Islands, separated by 

 thousands of miles of ocean and continent.
