This important work (not yet complete) is, in fact, a continuation of that
by the same author, on European Spiders (vide Zool. Rec. vi. p. 143),
which thus forms the introduction to the present work (conf. Thorell, Europ.
Spid. p. 234, note). As the object of that was to review the genera of
European spiders, so the object of the present is to examine and, as far as
possible, determine the synonyms, and thus " to fix the momenclature of
the spiders described in Westring's ' Aranea? Suecica?,' as also of some other
European species, partly described in the 'History of British and Irish
Spiders,' by J. Blackwall, London, 1861-64, partly registered in the ' Cataloque
synonymique des Araneides d'Europe,' given by M. Eugene Simon in
his ' Histoire Naturelle des Araignees,' Paris, 1864."
In the present numbers (1 & 2), which deal primarily with Westring's
genera and species, as far as and including Sparassus, the author's proposition
has been admirably carried out. The greatest care and honesty has been used
in determining the identity of species described by various authors ; descriptions
as well as typical examples from different parts of Europe have been
compared with great pains and acumen ; the specific as well as generic names
which the author conceives to have the priority are in each case placed
within brackets immediately after the name borne by the genus or species in
the work primarily under review; and not the least valuable part of the lists
of synonyms is the date, prefixed to each (both genus and species), at which
