Cambridge, O. P. Bibliograpliical Notice. Ann. N. II. Nov. 
1870, pp. 414-417. 
Tleviews and criticises T. ThorelFs work on European Spiders, Part I., 
N. Act. Ups. ("}) vii. fasc. i. & ii. (and Zool. Rec. yi. p. 143), shows that the 
fam. Omanoid<7ij Thor., is based on a misconception as to the identity of 
CEcohius navus (Blackw.) ; states that the character of geometric web- 
spinning is not an unvarying one in the Epe'irides, nor the possession of but 
two terminal tarsal claws invariable in the ITiomisides — Arcys, Walck., an 
acknowledged Thomisid, having three. A striking and hitherto unnoticed 
cliaracter of Palpimmivs, Dufour, is stated to be the possession of but two 
spinners. Tlie propriety is questioned of founding a new family, Otiothopoidcp , 
for Otiothops, Macleay (which is exceedingly closely allied to Pa^nmamis, 
Duf.), merely on account of an abnormal number of joints in the legs of 
the first pair. This character, as in Ilersiliola, Thox A\=^Hersiliada (Simon), 
is considered only generic.
