Describes and figures portions of 25 species (23 new) of Araneulea , 
belonging to the Theridiidcc , Agelenidie, Drassidce , Thoniisidce , and Dys- 
dcridai . These have already been described or recorded in the two works 
by the same author, above quoted. 
Lecky, R. J. Spiders’ Webs. J. R. Micr. Soc. (2) ii. p. 337. 
'Referring to Anthony’s paper {supra), the author states that in his 
opinion the viscid globules on the radii of the snares of Epeiridce are 
bedewed upon the radii at regular intervals after the whole snare is com- 
pleted. [The latter part of this position seems to be at variance with the 
observations of others.] 
McCook, II. C. Nest Forms of the Furrow-Spider, Epeira strix. 
P. Ac. Philad. 1882, pp. 97-99. 
Classifies the different snares and webs spun by Spiders, and details the 
different forms of web made by Epeira strix , which are dependent on the 
various circumstances of the situation and the accidents of the environ- 
ment of the snare. \_Cf. Ann. N. II. (5) x. p. 180, and J. R. Micr. Soc. (2) 
ii. pp. 613 & G14; also “ Our Continent,’’ vol. ii. p. 296, where a somewhat 
similar classification is given (see infra)].

figure. 
The geometric, or orb-webs, are divided into vertical and horizontal. 
The former are detailed and classified as the full-orb, sectoral-orb, actinic- 
orb, and orb-sector ; the latter as the plane-orb and domed-orb : each kind 
is again subdivided. [This is a further development oE the popular, but 
hardly scientific, primary division of a portion of the Araneulea accord- 
ing to the forms of snare.]

A popular paper, classifying orb-webs, in regard to their structure, into 
(i.) the snare, for capturing prey ; (ii ) the enswathment, for entangling 
it; (iii.) The gossamer, for locomotion; (iv.) the cocoon for the ova ; 
(v.) the nest, for dwelling in. The snares of various species are figured.
