Abstract
(1) IN a monograph of 637 pages Prof. C. Fr. Roewer has assembled the information available in the literature on the Solifuga and has revised and extended this in the light of his observations on more than 2,500 specimens. The diagnosis of the order, a very brief history and a list of nearly 400 papers on Solifuga precede the account of the organisation, in which the external features are described in great detail, including the remarkable organs termed malleoli, situated on the coxa and the two proximal trochanters of the fourth leg, the function of which is still undetermined. The description of the internal organs occupies about fifty pages and is followed by a short account of the embryonic and post-embryonic development and by an interesting chapter of fifteen pages on the biology of Solifuga.
