species (17 new) and 3 now genera (Thomisides) are characterized.

Six new species, of as many genera, are described, and a catalogue is 
given of 70 species 2; Theridiides, 11 ; Agelenides, 7 ; Dras- 
25 ; Thomisides, 4 ; Lycosidcs, 11 ; Salticides, 10) found by Zim- 
mermann since the publication of his work, “DieSpinnen derUmgcgend*

Supplement, pp. 180-253, pis, xiii.-xx. London : 1874. 
Contains additional facts and considerations upon several genera of 
Spiders and their nests. 8 new and 4 known species, with the nest 
formed by each, are figured. [The author’s researches have furnished, in 
this supplement, matter of much interest and importance, and his death 
(previously to the publication of this volume), in Nov. 1874, is an 
occasion of the deepest regret to all Arachnologists.] Abstract and 
reviews of the whole work are given by G. Rochette, Arch. Sci. nat. i. 
(sep. copy) pp. 1-31, pi. i., and by E. Simon, Fouil. Nat. nos. 46, pp. 
115-117, and 47, pp. 125-128. 
Simon, Euge:ne. Les Arachnides de France. [/8?rpm.] 
Contains descriptions of the 130 known species, distributed among 23 
genera, of the families Ejieirides, Ulohorides, Dicfymdes, Eiiyoides, and 
Pholcidcs. 16 new species and 2 new genera are characterized. An intro- 
ductory chapter, pp. 1-16, treats generally of the Araneidea under the term 
Aranea (Sund.). After characterizing the order, the faunistic literature 
upon it, and some of the different systems of classifications are glanced 
at ; that adopted being based chiefly upon a supposed essential difference 
in the eyes ; some being “ Nocturnes” i.e., flattened, colourless, variable in 
form,' and intended only for seeing by night, others, “ Diurncs” i.e., , 
convex, round, and coloured; the two kinds are, however, found at 
times in the same individual. For details of this system, reference is 
made to a paper in Mem. Li^ge, 1873 \^cf. Zool. Rec. x. p. 199]; Its 
outlines (reversing the order maintained in Mem. Li^ge) are as follows : —
