A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume contains descriptions of all the species of A racbnida of the orders Scorpiones (S corpions), Uropygi (W hip-S corpions), A inblypygi, Solifugae, and of most of the larger and otherwise conspicuous species of A ranese (true Spide-rs) known to occur in British I ndia, Burma, and Ceylon, together with diagnoses of the genera, families, and suborders into which they fall. The only innovation introduced into the usually accepted classification of these groups is the ordinal separation of the Uropygi and A inblypygi, which are generally united as one order Pedipalpi. All the described species of the first four orders are dealt with in full. The A ranete, however, are less thoroughly treated, only the larger forms being included in the present work. These embrace all the Mygalomorplue, a group comprising the species commonly known as Mygales and Trap-door Spiders, all of which are of medium or large size, and also a relatively small number of the described species of A rachnomorpha). This latter group contains a vat number of species and is still very imperfectly known so imperfectly that no satisfactory account of it can at present be given. All that has been attempted is to afford means of identifying the larger, commoner, better known and more widely distributed forms. As regards size no species which when adult falls short of 5mm.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
