Monarchie. Erste Haelfte: Die Chilopoden, Wien, 1880. Zweite Haelfte: Die
Symphylen, Pauropoden und Diplopoden, Wien, 1884.
The most recent comprehensive work on this order, and very
important from a classificatory standpoint.
LUCIEN M. UNDERWOOD.--The North American Myriapoda. <Entomol. Amer.,
Vol. I, 1885, pp. 141-151.
A complete bibliographical review of the subject, with tables of
families and genera.
ARACHNIDA.

States. <Journ. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., Vols, IV-VI, 1842-'50.
These papers form the basis of the study of American arachnology.
Numerous species are described, but not in synoptic form.
T. THORELL.--On European Spiders. Part I. Review of the European genera
of Spiders. Upsala, 1869-'70.
N. M. HENTZ.--Araneae Americae septentrionalis. The Spiders of the United

These two works represent the most recent systems of
classification, and are therefore of great general value, although
they deal only with the European fauna.

Natur., Vol. XXI, 1887, pp. 963-975.
