CHAPTER VII, 
OF THE THIRD GENUS OR DIVISION OF LEAPERS, OR 
CRAB-SHAPED SPIDERS. 
..The moft common and convenient mark of diftinftion for this divifion of Spiders^ I take 
to be this, that they either make no webs, or differ from thofe of the other two divifions 
in the fituation of their eyes. 
2 . Of the feven fpecies which I have colleded, five certainly have their eyes placed trian- 
gularly; but becaufe the two others vary a little from that form, it cannot be taken as a cer- 
tain chara6ler, till the exotic Spiders of this divifion fhall have been examined, and collated 
with ours ; when, after proper obfervations made, the notes or chara6lers given may be either 
received or rejesfted. 
3. The refpe6live length of the legs cannot be taken for a certain mark, but may be feen 
by the lines drawn with the figure of each fpecies. 
4. Out of refped to former authors, I retain the old names of Spiders^ both in this 
divifion, as well as in the former ; I do not however contend for their propriety, but leave 
it to the opinion of the candid reader.
