1902. Stufenfänge echter Spinnen am Riesengebirge. (Eine vergleichend
ethologische Studie.) Sitz.-Ber. Ges. naturf. Freunde zu Berlin, 1902,
pp. 185-203.
A comparative study of the habitats of spiders.

Komm. zur Wissenschaft. Untersuch. der deutschen Meere in Kiel, Jahrg.
XVII-XXI, Heft III, pp. 151-185. Berlin.

MEYER, H. A., and MÖBIUS, K.
1865. Fauna der Kieler Bucht. Bd. I. Leipzig.

LOCARD, A.
1881. De L’Habitat des Mollusques. pp. 88-128. Études sur les
Variations Malacologiques d’après la Faune Vivante et Fossile de la
Partie Centrale du Bassin du Rhone. Tome II, Paris et Lyon.
This is the most detailed study and classification of the habitats of
mollusks of land and fresh-water which the writer has seen. It seems
to be little known to students. The volume contains many ecological
observations. The classification of habitats is often very artificial.
See Von Marten’s comment (Zoöl. Record for 1881, Vol. XVIII, p. 18,
Moll.), which refers to English and German works along similar
lines, but these have not been found by the writer.
