Excerpt from British Stalk-Eyed Crustacea and Spiders: With an Account of Their Structure, Classification, and Habitats More than one hundred stalk-eyed Crustacea, and between four and five hundred spiders, are known to collectors as British. In consequence of these large numbers, it is only possible to admit the description of a very small portion of our indigenous species into the narrow limits of this book; but it is hoped that an acquaintance with those creatures which have been selected as examples will prepare the student for the reading of more extended works.
