An interesting paper, treating specially upon the structure and use of the 
falces of spiders. That part of a large number of known species of various 
recognized families and genera is described, and an analytical table of these 
(based upon differences in the structure of the falces) is given. 
Blackwall, John. A list of Spiders captured by Professor 
E. Perceval Wright, M.D., in the province of Lucca, in 
Tuscany, in the summer of 1863, with eharacters of such 
species as appear to be new or little known to Arach- 
nologists. P. L. S. x. pp. 405-434, tabb. xv. & xvi.

spring of 1868, by E. Perceval Wright, M.D., with a list 
of the speeies, and descriptions of some new species and of 
a new genus. Ann. N. H. (4) June 1870, pp. 392-405, 
pi. viii. 
This is, in fact, two papers,— the notes by Dr. Wright, the list and de- 
scriptions by Mr. Blackwall. The notes are brief, chiefly upon the locality 
in which the spiders were found (at an elevation of about 3000 feet in the 
immediate neighbourhood of Nicolosi). The List contains 27 species, of 
which 7 are described as new, one forming the type of a new genus, Cteno- 
phora, with which and Galena^ 0. Koch, Mr. Blackwall constitutes a new 
family, Ctenophoridee,
