Plates IX.- 
Owine to our not possessing in the library of this Institute Koch's great 
work **Die Arachniden Australiens” and Walckenaer’s * His. Nat. des 
Insectes Aptéres," I was obliged to refer home for detailed descriptions of, 
as far as I have been able to ascertain, rather more than one-half of the 
described species of New Zealand spiders. As the greater portion of the 
New Zealand species described by Koch were omitted in the transeript— 
recently received, —I have struck out from this preliminary paper all doubt- 
ful species tha$ may have been described before, and trust that the few 
retained will prove new to science. The family TAomiside, represented by 
two genera Philodromus and Sparassus, and the genera Arachnura and 
Sphasus I believe have not been previously recorded as occurring in New 
Zealand.
