| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | The classic "modern" work on British spiders. Two volumes (1951 and 1953) covering the species, followed by a third in 1974: Locket, G.H., Millidge, A.F. & Merrett, P., containing addenda and corrigenda. The key only goes to families and is followed by the species accounts. Long out-of-print but now available on CD from Pisces Conservation. |
