Excerpt from American Spiders Spiders Make Up A Considerable portion of the animal life of the vast and diversified land that is North America. That general knowledge of them is relatively meager must be attributed to the circumstance of size, rather than to inferiority in either importance or genuine interest. By means of size, and also of sound, birds, mammals, and vertebrate animals monopolize the stage and divert attention. Yet only a slight change in perspective will bring into view a microcosm of tiny creatures that, hidden away in leafy jungles or unseen in miniature forests under foot, live lives of unbelievable strangeness and complexity. To bring this microcosm into sharp focus for the general reader is the prime purpose of this book. Our American spider heritage is a large and diversified fauna commensurate in importance with the age and size of the continent itself. Proclaiming this heritage is a large and rewarding body of literature created by students during more than one hundred and fifty years of enthusiastic devotion. At the beginning one would mention the name of John Abbot, who, as early as 1776, began the study of spiders and other animals in the region around Savannah, Georgia. It is to be regretted that his fine paintings and accompanying notes were never published, as were those of the birds, butterflies, and moths for which he became justly famous. Thereafter, with Nicholas Marcellus Hentz, whose first contribution appeared in 1821, began a line of investigators (H. C. McCook, T. H. Montgomery, G. W. and E. G. Peckham, J. H. Comstock, and J. H. Emerton, to mention only a few) which has terminated in that outstanding living American devotee of Arachne, Alexander Petrunkevitch, and in a growing circle of younger workers. The contribution of Americans to world araneology has been a striking one, but we have profited in even greater measure by the energy and genius of students from other lands, foreigners in language only.

Excerpt from The Common Spiders of the United States There are few books on the American spiders, and these are either large and expensive works or else special papers published by scientific societies, and so little known to the public. Since publishing my papers on the New England and Canadian spiders in the Transactions of the Connecticut Academy from 1882 to 1894, I have had frequent calls for a smaller and simpler book to meet the wants of readers who, without making a special study of the subject, want to know a little about spiders in general and especially those species that they often meet with. It is hoped this book will answer the purpose and help to lessen the prejudice against spiders, and lead to a more general acquaintance with them, like the popular knowledge of birds and butterflies. The characters used in the descriptions are, as far as possible, those that can be seen without microscopic examination and without much experience in the handling of small animals. The illustrations, which show the form and markings of every species, are from my own drawings and photographs, a large part of them made new for this book.

Bonsall, who has made the original drawings for nearly all the plates contained in the atlas. Her faithful and successful work has not always been correctly reproduced by lithographers and colorists, but for the most part it speaks for itself in the admirable rendering from life of the species which she has figured.

Excerpt from Spiders of the Orb-Weaver Genus Parawixia in America (Araneae: Araneidae) Before a genus has been revised, it may only be known by its most common species or by the type species to which the generic name is attached. However, the type spe cies is often the most aberrant member of the genus, and has been placed in its own genus specifically because of unusual char acters that may not occur in more aver age congenerics. Also, in large diverse families, the study of all species is meces sary to determine generic-level characters.
