The Class Araciinida, or the Spiders, are by many sup- posed to be insects. Such, however, is not the case. The Araclmida possess eight legs, while the true Insects only have six ; they undergo nc transforaiations, they no wings or antenna) (the place of the latter organs being su^)- [jlied either by two jointed claws, as in the Scorpions, or by two fangs, as in the Spiders); and their eyes are simple instead i)f compound. Could people divest themselves of the horror felt at the sight of these creatures, especially of the larger sort, they would be well repaid by the interesting instinct displayed by all the Spiders, who do not differ from each other more in form tlrai in habits. Those of our own country afford an ample field, * So called, because the animals belonging to this class breathe by means of air- sacs, called by Latreille, Pneumobranchioe, or lung-gills. The Trachcana, on the contrary, breathe by means of trachese, or air-tubes branching through the whole system, like the insects. ->s*i.
