Download or read book The Spider Book written by John Henry Comstock and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spider Book: A Manual for the Study of the Spiders and Their Near Relatives, the Scorpions; Pseudoscorpions; Wh1p-Scorpions, Harvestmen; And Other Members of the Class Arach-Nida, Found in America North of Mexico; With Analytical Keys for Their Classification and Popu The object of the work here offered to the public is to serve as an introduction to the study of a much neglected group of animals, the Arachnida. While the list of Americans who have contributed to our knowledge of insects is a very long one, those who have seriously studied the closely allied Arachnida in this country barely number a score; and the publications of these workers have been, of necessity, largely of a pioneer nature and fragmentary. Comparatively little of that which has been published is adapted to the needs of the beginning student. There have appeared in this country, however, a few works designed for beginners; among these are two small books by Emerton, "The Structure and Habits of Spiders," published in 1878, and "The Common Spiders of the United States," published in 1902, two excellent works which have done much to popularize a knowledge of spiders. The great work of McCook, "American Spiders and Their Spinningwork" (1889-93), is well adapted to awaken an interest in this subject; but its rarity and cost prevent its general use. The analytical tables published by Banks in the American Naturalist, in the volumes for 1900, 1901, and 1905, have been very useful. A few writers, as Dr. Wilder and Mrs. Treat, have published magazine articles on particular species. This practically completes the list of popular works on this subject published in this country. The papers on the classification of American spiders are far more numerous, and many of them have been published abroad; so also, the works treating of the structure of spiders are many and are largely foreign. A list of all of the publications quoted in the following pages is given in an appendix. In concluding this reference to the literature of the subject, I wish to make special mention of the work from which I have derived more help than from any other; this is the "Histoire Naturelle des Araignees," by Eugene Simon, published in Paris (1892-1903).
