Arachn. 5 
The remainder of this part of the work is occupied by a short sketch of 
the families and genera of British spiders, following the arrangement 
proposed by the Recorder, Tr. L. S. 1874. The greater portion of the 
volume (pp. 93-374) is taken up by the Acarina \_Acaridea] or Mites, 
these being, for the most part, injurious to man. As a first attempt to 
bring together what is at present known upon this large, most interest- 
ing, but too much neglected, order, this part of the work is very valuable. 
The Acarina are divided into eight families, two of them being again 
divided into subfamilies.

Describes and figures the anatomical (internal) structure of PTialan- 
gium parietinu7n,T)Q Opilio hystrix^ Latr., Liohunus roiundus^ 
Latr., under the following heads : — “ L’intestin buccal,” “ I’iutestin 
moyen,” and “Tintestin terminal.” The works, in the same field, of 
Treviranus, Tulk, Blanchard, Ramdohr, and others, are noticed, and 
compared with the author’s conclusions.

A very complete and exhaustive treatise, containing three parts : i. 
Description of the digestive apparatus of Tegenaria^ taking for subject 
T, domestica, Linn., and T. civilis, Walck. ; ii. Description of the diges- 
tive apparatus of Agelena, Lycosa, Argyroneta, Amaurobius, Cluhiona^ 
and Ppeira] iii. Physiological observations and experiments on the 
digestion. Under this last head, the opinion that spiders swallow no 
more than the juices of their prey is abundantly confirmed. The whole 
work bears evident signs of careful observation and patient experiment. 
Some conclusions of former authors are shown to have been erroneous, 
while others are confirmed. 
Pavesi, Pietro. Sugli Aracnidi di Grecia. Rend. 1st. Lomb. (2) x. 
pp. 323-327. 
Gives a list of 191 species of Greek Arachnids of 6 orders, 25 families, 
and 83 genera : Scorpiones 5 species, Pseiido-scorpiones 9, Solifugcc 3, 
Opiliones 18, Araneoi 151, Acari 5. Greece has, it appears, in common 
with Italy, 95 species, with Palestine and Syria 55, with Lower Egypt 38, 
with Turkey and Candia 37, with South Russia 35, with Tunis 28, with 
Dalmatia 19, and with Asia Minor 16. [None of the above countries can 
be said to have undergone any exhaustive search for Arachnids ; the 
above comparison, therefore, can bo but of little value.]
