An interesting paper, treating specially upon the structure and use of the
falces of spiders. That part of a large number of known species of various

This is, in fact, two Papers,-the notes by Dr. Wright, the list and descriptions
by Mr. Blackwall. The notes are brief, chiefly upon the locality
in which the spiders were found (at an elevation of about 3000 feet in the
immediate neighbourhood of Nicolosi). The List contains 27 species, of
which 7 are described as new, one forming the type of a new genus, Vtenophora,
with which and Galena, C. Koch, Mr. Blackwall constitutes a new
family, Qenophoridce.
