The reader interested in the habits of the Wolf-spiders must certainly consult the chapters on “La Lycose de Narbonne” in Series 9 of Fabre’s Souvenirs entomologiques.
The classical account by the Peckhams, of the love dances of jumping spiders appeared conjointly with the paper by E. Peckham on “Protective Resemblances” cited above.
For the habits of Atypus affinis (or piceus) the reader is referred to the very complete account given by Enock in the Transactions of the Entomological Society (London, 1885, p. 394) of observations extending through several years.
The larger Aviculariidae have been dealt with in various papers by Pocock, and the particulars given with regard to Dugesiella were taken from a paper by Petrunkevitch in the Zoologischen Jahrbüchern, xxxi, 1911.
In the Archiv für Naturgeschichte, i, 1889, Apstein published an admirable piece of research on the structure and function of the spinning glands of spiders. He investigated the glands present in the various families, and the particular arrangement of the spools and spigots on the spinnerets.
A paper by the present writer in the Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science for April 1890 continued this investigation, and shewed the special operations in which the various glands participated in the case of the Garden Spider.
