these matters, but to publish the results, that is necessary. 1 am sure 

 that any such collector would receive co-operation wherever anyone 

 here could give it, and, if supplied with sufficient funds, would do 

 some really useful work. The Spiders of Australia have scarcely been 

 collected at all, and collections from Cape York and the wild parts 

 of Central Australia could not fail to bring to light many undescribed 

 species and genera. 



I can only add that I hope this suggestion will be followed up, 

 and that someone will see fit to follow Herr Koch's lead ; only let him 

 come here and describe from life, instead of from old and faded speci- 

 mens. — S. H. Burton Bradley (60, Margaret Street, Sydney).
