Excerpt from On Two Orders of Arachnida, Opiliones, Especially the Suborder Cyphophthalmi, and Ricinulei, Namely the Family Cryptostemmatoidae Moreover, in no mean degree, our thanks are due to the Royal Society of London which has done us the honour of accepting our paper for publication; for this we are so much the more grateful as it might have proved very difficult to get it published in our own country. And we desire to add our acknowledgments to the Cambridge University Press for the very admirable manner in which the illustrations have been reproduced and the text has been printed, and for their attention and courtesy. Finally, we wish to express our warm thanks to the Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing, fr.s., for having communicated our treatise to the Royal Society and for his very valuable aid in looking through all the proofs.
