Rh these matters, but to publish the results, that is necessary. I am sure that any such collector would receive co-operation wherever anyone here could give it, and, if supplied with sufficient funds, would do some really useful work. The Spiders of Australia have scarcely been collected at all, and collections from Cape York and the wild parts of Central Australia could not fail to bring to light many undescribed species and genera.

I can only add that I hope this suggestion will be followed up, and that someone will see fit to follow Herr Koch's lead; only let him come here and describe from life, instead of from old and faded specimens.— (60, Margaret Street, Sydney).
