') The niunber of the species of spiders at present known to inhabit Sweden, appears to be 382. In Westrixg's 

 AraneiB Suecicae 307 species are taken up (conf. Thor., Rem. on Syn., p. 407 — 414): from these however 

 4 species, which had been found in Norway only, should l)e excluded, and besides Ero tubercvlata (De 

 Geer), which certainly has not been captured in Sweden. To the 302 Swedish spiders thus described 

 in Aran. Suec, ought to be added 52, mentioned in my works On Eur. Spid. and Rem. on Syn. 

 {Attus miser Thor., Rem. on Syn., p. 339, is nothing raore than a bare-rubbed specimen of A. erraticus 

 Walck.); Wetter (I Småland och Skåne hittills iakttague Spindlar. Akad. Afhandl. Lund 1874) has 

 lately added 8 more species to the Fauna of this country, viz. Linyphia approximata Cambr., Erigone ne- 

 glecta Cambr., Dipcena melanogaster (C. Koch), Theridiiim Ohlertii Thor., Lethia Immilis (Blackw.), L. 

 puta C.\MBR., Ccelotes saxatilis (ÄVaixk.) and Clubiona Germanica Thor., and VVestrixg (Bemerkungen etc, 

 p. 34) 1 species, Erigone angustaia Westr. In my Diagu. Aran. Europ. and in the present treatise 15 spe- 

 cies not before known to inhabit Sweden are described. Moreover a Liocranum inc. sp. has lately been found 

 in Bohuslän by Mrs Julia Thorell ; Clubiona alpica L. Koch and Lycosa bifasciata C. Koch have been 

 captured by Dr C. J. Neuman, the former in the island of Gotland, the latter in the island of Oland; of 

 Xysticus Kochii Thor. one specimen has been found in the vicinity of Stockholm by Mr A. E. Holmgren, 

 another in West-Gothland by Mr G. Holm. — Among the 382 species thus observed in Sweden, I have not 

 reckoned those 6 forms of the genus Tetragnatha found in this country, which I consider as sub-species 

 and varieties only of T. e.vtensa (Linn.), Thor.: T. obtusa C. Koch, T. punctipes Westr. (Bemerkungen, p. 25), 

 T. Solandri (Scop.) or T. e,vtensa SiM., T. montana Sim., T. dearmata Thor. and T. hrnchygnatha Thor.
