spiders’ nests.

This creature may be injurious in various ways, and to the entomolo- 
gist in particular, by destroying specimens and damaging the paper in 
boxes, &c. 
Lepisma saccharina very destructive to books, papers, &c., in New

Gustav Joseph, in a general memoir on the Arthropoda of the caves of 
Carniola (B. E. Z. xxvi. pp. 24-30), describes numerous new species, and 
indicates the following known species as inhabitants, viz. : — Dicyrtoma 
pygmcea , Wankel, Tritomurus scutellatus , Frauenf., and T. macrocephalus , 
Kolenati, Heteromorus margaritaceus , Wankel, Cyphoderus albinus, Nic., 
Anurophorus stillicidii , Schiodte, A. gracilis , Mull., and A. ambulans , De 
Geer. Some apparently novel ideas of classification into “ families ” and. 
“ sub-families ” are presented.
