Excerpt from Biologia Centrali-Americana, Vol. 1: Arachnida-Araneidea In dealing with the Central-American Araneidea, the subject was divided (see footnote to page 1) into two parts: I. to include descriptions and figures of those species considered to be new to science, taken according to my own convenience and other circumstances; and II. a Systematic List of all the species known to occur within the region, with their geographical distribution. So far as this arrangement has been carried out, the present volume contains the species worked out by myself, according to the two appended Lists: (i.) a Systematic List of the new Species described and figured, numbering 417; and (ii.) a List of those Species identified by myself as already known, numbering 139. The volume contains 309 pages of letterpress and thirty-nine coloured plates, the drawings for which have been prepared by Mr. A. T. Hollick, and transferred to stone by Mr. E. Wilson.
