FOREWORD TO THE FIRST EDITION

International investment arbitration has a lineage that may be traced to concession and other
contracts of foreign investors with host governments. Disputes under those contracts gave
rise to a small number of large arbitrations between the two World Wars and for some three
decades after the Second World War. Only very large investors were normally in a position
to persuade host governments to agree to arbitration of disputes that might arise under con-
tracts between them. Implementation of the resultant arbitral obligations was in some cases
significant: in others frustrated.
Two developments transformed this episodic scene. The first was the conclusion of the World
Bank’s Washington Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States
and Nationals of Other States, the ICSID Convention, which came into force in 1966. It
provides a standing forum for the settlement of disputes between foreign investors and host
governments. The second was the conclusion of bilateral investment treaties between states.
By this writing, there are—​counting agreements arising not only bilaterally but those from
the Energy Charter Treaty, NAFTA, and CAFTA—​some 2,700 such treaties in force. They
are the main source of the jurisdiction of ICSID. But they are by no means simply proced-
ural and jurisdictional in effect, because they provide standards for the treatment and taking
of foreign investment that represent a remarkable advance on the contentious content of
customary international law. By together enabling the foreign investor to require a host gov-
ernment to arbitrate disputes between them, on the basis of agreed international legal stand-
ards, a new era in international dispute settlement has opened. ICSID currently deals with as
many cases as has the International Court of Justice in the whole of its history.
This cascade of international litigation has spawned a multiplicity of problems, procedural,
jurisdictional, and substantive. This book analyses recurrent issues that arise in the dispos-
ition of those problems. Katia Yannaca-​Small, drawing on her experience as a senior lawyer
both of the OECD and ICSID, has assembled a group of knowledgeable and acute authors,
many of them leading practitioners in this field, who address the most salient and persistent
of those issues. And she herself has written six of the chapters, which tackle some of the most
sensitive questions.
In the last few years, international investment arbitration has come under attack. The criti-
cism, much of it uninformed, has a nationalistic and autarchic tinge. Two South American
states members of ICSID, apparently under the influence of a third, have withdrawn from
the treaty, giving reasons that would have warmed the heart of Carlos Calvo. The European
Union is poised to displace bilateral investment treaties between its members by its own rules.
The adoption by the United States of a revised model bilateral investment treaty in 2004
was regressive, and current reconsideration in the Congress may lead the United States to
resile further from its traditional support of foreign investment. Nevertheless, fresh bilateral
investment treaties are being concluded, and international investment arbitration flourishes.
This valuable volume will assist the student and practitioner of international investment arbi-
tration in understanding and addressing its primary problems, which are as complex as they
are recurrent.
Stephen M Schwebel,
Former President of the International Court of Justice

FOREWORD TO THE SECOND EDITION

When the first edition of this text was published a short seven years ago, it quickly be-
came an authoritative reference guide for practitioners, academics, and tribunals on investor-​
state questions. While (relatively) little time has passed since publication of the first edition,
international investment law and investor-​state dispute settlement have continued to evolve
rapidly.
Much of this change has been generated from the core of the discipline, through revision of
international investment agreements. This has been accomplished by the adoption of new or
revised ‘model’ treaties by numerous states, allowing them to update their obligations based
on current policies and state-​of-​the-​art phrasing. A similar exercise has occurred on a multi-
lateral basis, where we have witnessed a trend towards negotiation of investment disciplines
on a multi-​party level. In particular, the European Union has negotiated and continues to
negotiate a number of agreements with investment chapters.
The new generation agreements have addressed substantive and procedural matters, and their
hallmark is an increasingly detailed elaboration of the obligations undertaken by states and
the procedure available to ensure compliance with treaty undertakings. One good example of
the new approach to substance has been elaboration of the ‘right to regulate’, confirming that
states can take bona fide measures to act for the public good, without incurring an obligation
to compensate for the effects of such measures. Another example has been sharpening the
identification of who may invoke the protection of investment treaties, for example through
revised definitions of ‘investment’ and ‘investor’, increased use of exhaustion of local rem-
edies, and more frequent inclusion of denial of benefits clauses.
An equally significant evolution has occurred on the procedural side of investment treaties
and in investment practice. For example, many states have taken a more proactive role in
the supervision of treaties after ratification. This has been effected by committees’ super-
vising implementation of treaties, by according non-​respondent treaty parties a right to par-
ticipate in arbitrations, and by giving states the ability to make interpretive declarations
about the meaning of a treaty. Another example has been the continuation of the move
towards increased transparency, which started in the NAFTA cases and in the 2006 amend-
ments to the ICSID Convention and Additional Facility arbitration rules. This evolution
was furthered in 2014 with the UNCITRAL Rules on Transparency and the ratification of
the Mauritius Convention in October 2017. Another striking procedural innovation is the
policy of the European Union to conclude agreements with standing tribunals and appellate
bodies. A scant eleven years ago an Appellate Facility proposal was suggested by ICSID but
rejected by states as premature. By 2017, Canada and the European Union had agreed to a
standing body to adjudicate investment disputes arising under their free trade agreement,
with ICSID being named the Secretariat of that body. Perhaps the most significant proced-
ural innovation is one that is ongoing: ICSID has embarked upon a procedure to amend its
rules and regulations, and is consulting member states as well as the public for comments and
proposals. These amendments will apply to new cases in accordance with Articles 33 and 44
of the ICSID Convention and could have a far-​reaching effect, given that ICSID administers
over 70 per cent of all investment arbitration.
While treaties have evolved, the number of cases initiated by investors has continued at a
steady pace. In fiscal year 2016, ICSID registered forty-​eight cases, and had registered more
than 620 cases in total by June 2017. About three-​quarters of these cases were commenced

Foreword to the Second Edition

under treaties, predominantly bilateral investment treaties. However, a distinct trend towards
the use of multilateral treaties is evident, with 31 per cent of the ICSID cases commenced in
fiscal year 2016 having been initiated under the Energy Charter Treaty. Another new trend
has been the diversification of respondents and claimants in investment cases: for the first
time, western European Member States are being named in investment cases, while claim-
ants increasingly come from developing and transition economies. One trend that has proved
stable has been the outcome of cases: roughly 30–​35 per cent of cases settle before an award is
rendered, and of those cases where an award is rendered, roughly half uphold the claim while
the other half dismiss the claim on jurisdictional or merits bases. The scope of issues raised in
arbitration has also continued to expand, and the interplay between individual awards and
systemic approaches to treaty drafting is clear.
As attested by the breadth and depth of the topics in this edition, investment treaties and
arbitration continue to raise novel legal questions. The editor is an expert in the field, having
dealt with investment law and procedure from the distinct perspectives of an international
organization, an arbitral institution, a law firm representing both states and investors in in-
dividual cases, and as a professor of law. Her knowledge and expertise is evident throughout.
In addition, the contributing authors are all well known in this discipline, with backgrounds
and knowledge that bring an intelligent and up-​to-​date perspective on the most important
questions in the field. Given this combination, it is certain that this edition will become
equally authoritative as the first edition.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The fast pace at which investor-​state arbitration has been evolving in the last decade has
made a second edition of this book an absolute necessity. Although its foundational elements
have remained the same in the last eight years, the wealth of claims, awards, scholarly writ-
ings, policy reconsiderations, and recalibrations driven by concerns and criticisms, point to a
system that has been maturing while changing at the same time. At the time of publication,
it is still unknown where these changes will take it but, wherever this will be, the need to
understand the key issues, as they evolve, will remain.
This second edition, following the path of the first, aims to serve as a guide on investment
treaty arbitration not only for the knowledgeable sophisticated reader but also the newcomer
to this field. This challenging task, to balance the educational and expert elements, could
not have been achieved without the wonderful group of outstanding contributors who very
graciously undertook this task with me again, with enthusiasm and no hesitation. I am also
thankful to those who joined us in this second edition and enriched the book greatly. I am
deeply grateful to all not only for their valuable contributions to this book but also for the
collegiality and cooperation I have enjoyed with all of them throughout the years.
I take the opportunity to thank the many people at Oxford University Press who saw the
need for a second edition and persuaded me to go ahead, as well as those who accompanied
me throughout the process with great professionalism, advice, and patience. Jamie Berezin,
Faye Mousley, Liana Green, and, during the last stretch, Catherine Rogers, who offered me
wise support in the last, most demanding phase of the editing process. I express my appreci-
ation to Newgen’s Nancy Rebecca for aptly managing the production process, and to Nicola
Prior for copy-​editing.
Last but not least, my utmost thanks and gratitude go to my husband, David Small, former
General Counsel of the OECD, who not only greatly assisted with the editing of this volume
but also never stopped encouraging me and supporting me. Without his support, this second
edition would not have seen the light of day.

Stridulating Organs.—When
Arthropod animals are capable of
producing a sound, the result is
nearly always obtained by
“stridulation,” that is, by the
friction of two rough surfaces
against each other. The surfaces
which are modified for this
purpose form what is called a
“stridulating organ.” Such organs
have been found in three very Fig. 182.—A, Spinnerets of

thorax and abdomen, or between
the chelicerae and the pedipalpi,
or between the pedipalpi and the first legs.
In the Sicariidae and the Aviculariidae, the sounds have been
distinctly heard and described. Those produced by the Theridiidae
would appear to be inaudible to human ears.
Westring[260] was the first to discover (1843) a stridulating organ in
the small Theridiid spider Asagena phalerata. The abdomen, where
the pedicle enters it, gives off a chitinous collar, which projects over
the cephalothorax, and has the inner surface of the dorsal part finely
toothed. When the abdomen is raised and depressed, these teeth
scrape against a number of fine striae on the back of the posterior
part of the cephalothorax. A similar organ has been since found in
various allied spiders, of which the commonest English species is
Steatoda bipunctata. In this group it is generally possessed by the
male alone, being merely rudimentary, if present at all, in the female.
In 1880 Campbell[261] observed that in some of the Theridiid
Spiders of the genus Lephthyphantes, the outer surface of the
chelicera and the inner surface of the femur of the pedipalp were
finely striated at the point, where they were rubbed together when
the palps were agitated, but though the appropriate motion was
frequently given, he could hear no sound.
Meanwhile the noise produced
by a large Theraphosid spider in
Assam (Chilobrachys stridulans)
had attracted attention, and its
stridulating apparatus was
described in 1875 by Wood-
Mason.[262] The sound resembled
that obtained by “drawing the
back of a knife along the edge of a
strong comb.”
Subsequently certain Sicariid

Spider, × 5. of their palps, and both sexes
were found to possess a very
perfect stridulating organ,
consisting of a row of short teeth
on the femur of the pedipalp, and
a striated area on the paturon of
the chelicera.
Pocock has recently discovered
that all the large kinds of
Theraphosidae in the countries
between India and New Zealand
are, like Chilobrachys, provided
with a stridulating organ. In these
spiders also it is between the palp
and the chelicera, and consists of
a row of teeth or spines
constituting a “pecten,” and a Fig. 184.—Chilobrachys stridulans in
series of vibratile spines or “lyra,” stridulating attitude. After Wood-
but whereas in Chilobrachys and Mason. Natural size.
its near relations the lyra is on the
palp and the pecten on the paturon, in other spiders the positions are
reversed. The lyra is a very remarkable organ, consisting of club-
shaped, often feathery bristles or spines, which lie parallel to the
surface to which they are attached, and which is slightly excavated
for their reception.
Lastly, many African Theraphosids possess a similar organ, not
between the palp and the chelicera, but between the palp and the
first leg.
Various suggestions have been hazarded as to the use of these
organs, but they partake largely of the nature of conjecture,
especially in connexion with the doubt as to the possession of a true
auditory organ by the Araneae. They may be summarised as follows.
The Theridiid spiders are among those which show most indication
of auditory powers, and the stridulating organs, being practically
confined to the male, may have a sexual significance. Chilobrachys
stridulates when attacked, assuming at the same time a “terrifying
attitude,” and its stridulating organ may serve the purpose attributed
to the rattle of the rattlesnake, and warn its enemies that it is best let
alone. If this be the case, there is no need that it should itself hear the
sound, and, indeed, there is no evidence that the Aviculariidae
possess the power of hearing. In the inoffensive stridulating Sicariid
spiders the sounds could hardly serve this purpose, and the presence
of the organ in both sexes, and in immature examples, precludes the
idea that its function is to utter a sexual call. Instead of trying to
escape when disturbed, the spider starts stridulating, and Pocock
suggests that the similarity of the sound produced to the buzzing of a
bee may be calculated to induce its enemies to leave it in peace.

Internal Anatomy.

Alimentary System.—The alimentary canal of the Spider is


divided into three regions, the “stomodaeum,” the mid-gut or
“mesenteron,” and the hind-gut or “proctodaeum.”
The Stomodaeum consists of the pharynx, the oesophagus, and
the sucking stomach. As we have said, the mouth is to be found
between the rostrum and the labium. It opens into the pharynx, the
anterior wall of which is formed by a chitinous plate on the inner
surface of the rostrum, sometimes called the palate. As the inner
surfaces of the rostrum and labium are practically flat, the cavity of
the pharynx would be obliterated when they are pressed together,
were it not for a groove running down the centre of the palate, which
the apposed labium converts into a tube, up which the fluids of the
prey are sucked. In the Theraphosidae there is a corresponding
groove on the inner surface of the labium.
At the top of the pharynx, which is nearly perpendicular, the canal
continues backwards and upwards as a narrow tube, the oesophagus,
passing right through the nerve-mass, which embraces it closely on
all sides, to the sucking stomach. At the commencement of the
oesophagus is the opening of a gland, probably salivary, which is
situated in the rostrum.
We now reach the sucking
stomach, which occupies the
centre of the cephalothorax. It is
placed directly over a skeletal
plate, the “endosternite” (Fig.
185, e), to which its lower surface
is connected by powerful muscles,
while its upper wall is protected
by a hard plate or “buckler,”
which is similarly attached to the
roof of the cephalothorax in the
region of the “fovea media.” The
walls of the stomach are not
themselves muscular, but by the
contraction of the muscles above
mentioned its cavity is enlarged,
and fluids from the pharynx are

the abdomen. The thoracic
portion, shortly behind the
sucking stomach, sends forward on either side a large branch or
“diverticulum,” from each of which five secondary branches or
“caeca” are given off (Fig. 185). Of these the anterior pair sometimes
join, thus forming a complete ring; but usually, though adjacent, they
remain distinct. The other four pairs of caeca curve downwards,
protruding into the coxae of the legs, where they often terminate, but
sometimes (Epeira) they continue their curve until they meet,
though they never fuse, under the nerve-mass. Behind the origin of
the diverticula the mesenteron continues as a widish tube, and
shortly passes through the pedicle and enters the abdomen, where,
curving slightly upwards, it proceeds along the middle line till it ends
in the proctodaeum.
In the abdomen it is surrounded by a large gland, the so-called
liver, and is dilated at one spot (Fig. 186) to receive the ducts from
this gland. The fluid elaborated by this large abdominal gland has
been shown to have more affinity with pancreatic juice than with
bile.
The Proctodaeum consists of a short rectum, from the dorsal
side of which protrudes a large sac, the “stercoral pocket.” At its
origin, the rectum receives the openings of two lateral tubes which
reach it after ramifying in the substance of the liver. These have been
called “Malpighian tubules,” but their function is unknown.
Loman[263] has shown that they open into the mid-gut and not into
the rectum, and there is reason to believe that true Malpighian
tubules homologous to those of Insecta are absent in Arachnida,
where their place seems to be taken by the coxal glands, which are
considered to be the true excretory organs. In most spiders they open
near the third coxae. Like the stomodaeum, the proctodaeum has a
chitinous lining.
Vascular System.—The earlier investigations on the circulation
of the blood in Spiders were made by direct observations of the
movements of the blood corpuscles through the more or less
transparent integuments of the newly-hatched young.
[264]
Claparède’s results were arrived at by this method. It is
invaluable for demonstrating roughly the course taken by the blood,
but in these immature spiders the blood-system has not attained its
full complexity, and other methods of research have shown the
spider to possess a much more elaborate vascular system than was at
first suspected.
The tubular heart lies along the middle line in the anterior two-
thirds of the abdomen, sometimes close up against the dorsal wall,
but occasionally at some little distance from it, buried in the
substance of the liver. It is a muscular tube with three pairs of lateral
openings or “ostia,” each furnished with a simple valve which allows
the entrance, but prevents the exit, of the blood. It is contained in a
bag, the “pericardium,” into which the ostia open. Both heart and
pericardium are kept in place by a complicated system of connective
tissue strands, by which they are anchored to the dorsal wall of the
abdomen. Eight arteries leave the heart, the principal one, or “aorta,”
plunging downward and passing through the pedicle to supply the
cephalothorax. Besides this, there is a caudal artery at the posterior
end, and three pairs of abdominal arteries, which proceed from the
under surface of the heart, and the ramifications of which supply, in
a very complete manner, the various organs of the abdomen. The
heart is not divided up into compartments. The anterior aorta passes
through the pedicle, above the intestine, and presently forks into two
main branches, which run along either side of the sucking stomach,
near the front of which they bend suddenly downwards and end in a
“patte d’oie,” as Causard[265] expresses it—a bundle of arteries which
proceed to the limbs (Fig. 185). Where the downward curve begins, a
considerable artery, the mandibulo-cephalic, runs forward to supply
the chelicerae and the head region. We have omitted certain minor
branches from the main trunks which supply the thoracic muscles.
The nerve-mass receives fine vessels from the “patte d’oie.”

There are no capillaries, but the blood is delivered into the tissues
and finds its way, by irregular spaces or “lacunae,” into certain main
venous channels or “sinuses.” There are three such in the
cephalothorax, one median and the others lateral, considerably
dilated in front, in the region of the eyes, and connected by
transverse passages. By these the blood is brought back through the
pedicle to the lung-books. In the abdomen also there are three main
sinuses, two parallel to one another near the lower surface, and one
beneath the pericardium. These likewise bring the blood to the lung-
books, whence it is conducted finally by pulmonary veins (Fig. 186)
back to the pericardial chamber, and thus, by the ostia, to the heart.
The Spider’s blood is colourless, and the majority of the corpuscles
are “amoeboid,” or capable of changing their shape.
Generative System.—The internal generative organs present no
great complexity, consisting, in the male, of a pair of testes lying
beneath the liver, and connected by convoluted tubes, the “vasa
deferentia,” with a simple aperture under the abdomen, between the
anterior stigmata.
The ovaries are hollow sacs with short oviducts which presently
dilate to form chambers called “spermathecae,” which open to the
exterior by distinct ducts, thus forming a double orifice, fortified by
an external structure already alluded to as the “epigyne.” The eggs
project from the outer surface of the ovary like beads, connected with
the gland by narrow stalks, and it was not at first clear how they
found their way into the interior cavity, but it has been ascertained
that, when ripe, they pass through these stalks, the empty capsules
never presenting any external rupture.
The palpal organs have already been described. The spermatozoa,
when received by them, are not perfectly elaborated, but are
contained in little globular packets known as “spermatophores.”
Nervous System.—The Spider’s central nervous system is
entirely concentrated in the cephalothorax, near its floor, and
presents the appearance of a single mass, penetrated by the
oesophagus. It may, however, be divided into a pre-oesophageal
portion or brain, and a post-oesophageal or thoracic portion.
The brain supplies nerves to the eyes and chelicerae, while from
the thoracic mass nerves proceed to the other appendages, and
through the pedicle to the abdomen. The walls of the oesophagus are
closely invested on all sides by the nerve-sheath or neurilemma.
Sense-Organs.—Spiders possess the senses of sight, smell, and
touch. Whether or not they have a true auditory sense is still a matter
of doubt. Since sounds are conveyed by vibrations of the air, it is
never very easy to determine whether responses to sounds produced
near the animal experimented upon are proofs of the existence of an
auditory organ, or whether they are only perceived through the
ordinary channels of touch. In any case, the organs of hearing and of
smell have not yet been located in the Spider. M‘Cook considers
various hairs scattered over the body of the spider to be olfactory, but
from Gaskell’s researches upon allied Arachnid groups it would seem
that the true smelling organ is to be sought for in the rostrum.
Eyes.—Spiders possess from two to eight simple eyes, the external
appearance and arrangement of which have already been briefly
explained. They are sessile and immovable, though often so placed as
to command a view in several directions. In structure they are
essentially like the ocelli of Insects. Externally there is a lens,
succeeded by a mass of transparent cells, behind which is a layer of
pigment. Then come the rods and cones of the retina, to which the
optic nerve is distributed. A comparison of this with the arrangement
in the Vertebrate eye will show a reversal of the positions of the
retina and the pigment-layer. The lens is part of the outside covering
of the animal, and is cast at the time of moulting, when the spider is
temporarily blind. It is stated, however, that the eyes do not all moult
simultaneously. There is often a considerable difference between the
various eyes of the same spider, especially with regard to the
convexity of the lens and the number of rods and cones.
Though most spiders possess eight eyes, the number is sometimes
smaller, and in some groups of eight-eyed spiders two of the eyes are
sometimes so reduced and degenerate as to be practically
rudimentary. As might be expected, Cave-spiders (e.g. Anthrobia
mammouthia) may be entirely sightless.
Touch.—The sense of touch would appear to be extremely well
developed in some spiders, and there is reason for believing that the
Orb-weavers, at all events, depend far more upon it than upon that of
sight.
Among the hairs which are distributed over the spider’s body and
limbs, several different forms may be distinguished, and some of
them are undoubtedly very delicate sense-organs of probably tactile
function.
Spinning Glands.—Spiders vary greatly in their spinning
powers. Some only use their silk for spinning a cocoon to protect
their eggs, while others employ it to make snares and retreats, to
bind up their prey, and to anchor themselves to spots to which they
may wish to return, and whence they “drag at each remove a
lengthening chain.”
All these functions are performed by the silk-glands of the Orb-
weavers, and hence it is with them that the organs have attained
their greatest perfection. We may conveniently take the case of the
common large Garden-spider, Epeira diademata. The glands occupy
the entire floor of the abdomen. They have been very thoroughly
investigated by Apstein,[266] and may be divided into five kinds.
On either side of the abdomen
there are two large “ampullaceal”
glands debouching on “spigots,”
one on the anterior, and one on
the middle spinneret; there are
three large “aggregate” glands
which all terminate on spigots on
the posterior spinneret; and three
“tubuliform” glands, two of which
have their orifices on the
posterior, and one on the middle
spinneret. Thus, in the entire
abdomen there are sixteen large
glands, terminating in the large
fusulae known as spigots. In
addition to this there are about
200 “piriform” glands whose
openings are on the short conical
fusulae of the posterior and
anterior spinnerets, and about Fig. 187.—Spinning glands. A,
400 “aciniform” glands which Aciniform; B, tubuliform; C, piriform

on the middle and posterior
spinnerets. Thus there are, in all,
about 600 glands with their separate fusulae in the case of Epeira
diademata.
The great number of orifices from which silk may be emitted has
given rise to the widespread belief that, fine as the Spider’s line is, it
is woven of hundreds of strands. This is an entire misconception, as
we shall have occasion to show when we deal with the various
spinning operations.
A few families are, as has already been stated, characterised by the
possession of an extra spinning organ, the cribellum, and the orifices
on this sieve-like plate lead to a large number of small glands, the
“cribellum glands.”
Respiratory Organs.—Spiders possess two kinds of breathing
organs, very different in form, though essentially much alike. They
are called respectively “lung-books” and “tracheae.” The
Theraphosae (and Hypochilus) have four lung-books, while all other
spiders, except Nops, have two. Tracheae appear to be present
almost universally, but they have not been found in the Pholcidae.
The pulmonary stigmata lead into chambers which extend
forwards, and which are practically filled with horizontal shelves, so
to speak, attached at the front and sides, but having their posterior
edges free. These shelves are the leaves of the lung-book. Each leaf is
hollow, and its cavity is continuous, anteriorly and laterally, with the
blood-sinus into which the blood from the various parts of the
Spider’s body is poured.
The minute structure of the leaf is curious. Its under surface is
covered with smooth chitin, but from its upper surface rise vast
numbers of minute chitinous points whose summits are connected to
form a kind of trellis-work. The roof and floor of the flattened
chamber within are connected at intervals by columns. The
pulmonary chamber usually contains from fifteen to twenty of these
leaves, and the two chambers are always connected internally
between the stigmata.
The tracheae are either two or four (Dysderidae, Oonopidae,
Filistatidae) in number, and their stigmata may be separate or fused
in the middle line. Each consists of a large trunk, projecting
forwards, and giving off tufts of small tubes which lose themselves
among the organs of the abdomen, but do not ramify. In the tracheae
of Argyroneta[267] a lateral tuft is given off immediately after leaving
the stigma, and another tuft proceeds from the anterior end.
Histologically the main trunk of the trachea is precisely like the
general chamber of the pulmonary sac, and differs greatly from the
trachea of an insect.
Cephalothoracic Glands.—In addition to the generative glands
and the so-called “liver” which occupy so large a portion of the
abdomen, there are, in Spiders, certain glandular organs situated in
the cephalothorax which call for some notice. These are the coxal
glands and the poison-glands.
The COXAL GLANDS are two elongated brownish-yellow bodies,
situated beneath the lateral diverticula of the stomach, and between
it and the endosternite. They present four slight protuberances which
project a short distance into the coxae of the legs. The glands appear
to be ductless, but their function is thought to be excretory. They
were first observed in the Theraphosae.
All Spiders possess a pair of POISON-GLANDS, connected by a narrow
duct with a small opening near the extremity of the fang of the
chelicerae. The glands are sac-like bodies, usually situated in the
cephalothorax, but sometimes partially (Clubiona) or even entirely
(Mygale) in the patura, or basal joints of the chelicerae. Each sac has
a thin outer layer of spirally-arranged muscular and connective
tissue fibres, and a deep inner epithelial layer of glandular cells. The
cavity of the gland acts as a reservoir for the fluid it secretes. The
virulence of the poison secreted by these glands has been the subject
of much discussion, and the most diverse opinions have been held
with regard to it. The matter is again referred to on p. 360.

EARLY LIFE OF SPIDERS.

Ecdysis or Moulting.—Spiders undergo no metamorphosis—


that is to say, no marked change of form takes place, as is so often
the case among Insects, in the period subsequent to the hatching of
the egg. This fact, by the by, is a great trouble to collectors, as it is
generally extremely difficult, and sometimes quite impossible, to
identify immature specimens with certainty.
But although unmistakably a spider as soon as it leaves the egg,
the animal is, at first, in many respects incomplete, and it is only
after a series of moults, usually about nine in number, that it attains
its full perfection of form.
Until the occurrence of its first moult it is incapable of feeding or
spinning, mouth and spinning tubes being clogged by the membrane
it then throws off. It is at first pale-coloured and less thickly clothed
with hairs and spines than it eventually becomes, and the general
proportions of the body and the arrangement of the eyes are by no
means those of the adult in miniature, but will be greatly modified by
unequal growth in various directions. It speedily, however, attains its
characteristic shape and markings, and after one or two ecdyses little
alteration is to be noticed, except increase in size, until the final
moult, when the spider at length becomes sexually mature.
The first moult takes place while the newly-hatched spider is still
with the rest of the brood either in or close to the “cocoon” or egg-
bag. M‘Cook[268] thus describes the conclusion of the operation in the
case of Agelena naevia:—
“While it held on to the flossy nest with the two front and third
pairs of legs, the hind pair was drawn up and forward, and the feet
grasped the upper margin of the sac-like shell, which, when first
seen, was about half-way removed from the abdomen. The feet
pushed downwards, and at the same time the abdomen appeared to
be pulled upward until the white pouch was gradually worked off.”
The later moults are generally accomplished by the spider
collecting all its legs together and attaching them with silk to the web
above, while the body, also attached, hangs below. The old skin then
splits along the sides of the body, and the animal, by a series of
violent efforts, wriggles itself free, leaving a complete cast of itself,
including the legs, suspended above it. For a day or two before the
operation the spider eats nothing, and immediately upon its
completion it hangs in a limp and helpless condition for a quarter of
an hour or so, until the new integument has had time to harden. It is
not unlikely that the reader has mistaken these casts for the
shrivelled forms of unlucky spiders, and has had his sympathies
aroused, or has experienced a grim satisfaction, in consequence—an
expenditure of emotion which this account may enable him to
economise in future.
Limbs which the animal has accidentally lost are renewed at the
time of moulting, though their substitutes are at first smaller than
those they replace. On the other hand, the struggle to get rid of the
old skin sometimes results in the loss of a limb, and the spider is
doomed to remain short-handed until the next ecdysis.
Until the last moult the generative apertures, which are situated
under the anterior part of the abdomen, are completely sealed up.
Their disclosure is accompanied, in the case of the male, by a
remarkable development of the last joint of each pedipalp, which
becomes swollen and often extremely complicated with bulbs,
spines, and bristles. A mature male spider may at once be
distinguished by the consequent knobbed appearance of its palps;
and the particular form they assume is highly characteristic of the
species to which the spider belongs.
The number of moults, and the intervals at which they occur, no
doubt vary with different species. In the case of Argiope aurelia,
Pollock[269] has found that the female moults nine times after leaving
the cocoon, the first ecdysis occurring after an interval of from one to
two months, according to the abundance or scarcity of food. The
subsequent intervals gradually increase from about a fortnight to
something over three weeks.
Behaviour of the Newly-hatched Spider.—The mode of life
of a spider just freed from the cocoon will of course vary greatly
according to the Family to which it belongs.
The Epeiridae are the builders of the familiar wheel or orb-web.
Spiders of this Family usually remain together on friendly terms for a
week or more after leaving the nest. Most of the time they are
congregated in a ball-like mass, perhaps for the sake of warmth, but
upon being touched or shaken they immediately disperse along the
multitudinous fine lines which they have spun in all directions, to
reassemble as soon as the panic has subsided. Such a ball of the
yellow and black offspring of the large Garden-spider, Epeira
diademata, is no uncommon sight in the early autumn, and the
shower of “golden rain” that results from their disturbance is not
likely to be forgotten if it has ever been observed by the reader. This
harmonious family life only continues as long as the young spiders
are unable to feed—a period which, in some of the larger species, is
said to extend to ten days or a fortnight.
Individual life then commences, and each member of the dispersed
group sets up housekeeping on its own account, constructing at the
first attempt a snare in all respects similar, except in size, to those of
its parent.
Of course the young Spiders have not migrated far, and a bush
may frequently be seen covered by the often contiguous nets of the
members of a single brood. This, as Dr. M‘Cook thinks, is the true
explanation of some of the cases of “gregarious spiders” which
Darwin[270] and other naturalists have occasionally described, though
social spiders exist (see Uloborus, p. 411).
Very similar habits obtain among the Theridiidae, or line-
weaving spiders, a familiar example of which is the pretty little
Theridion sisyphium, whose highly-irregular snare may be found on
any holly bush during the summer months.
The Lycosidae, or Wolf-spiders, which chase their prey instead of
lying quietly in ambush to ensnare it, are exceedingly interesting in
their treatment of their young. The cocoon, or bag of eggs, is carried
about on all their expeditions,
attached beneath the abdomen,
or held by the jaws, and the
young spiders, on escaping from
it, mount on the mother’s back,
and indulge vicariously in the
pleasures of the chase from this
point of vantage. The empty egg-
bag is soon discarded, but the
brood continues to ride on the
mother’s back for about a week,
dismounting only to follow her as
she enters her little silk-lined
retreat in the ground.
During this time they appear to
require no food, but they at
length begin to disperse, the
mother gently but firmly
removing such individuals as are
Fig. 188.—A, Pardosa sp. ♀ , with

living specimen.) Many young spiders of various
Families proceed immediately to
seek new hunting-grounds by the aid of the wind, and become for the
time being diminutive aeronauts. This habit was observed by the
earliest British araneologist, Martin Lister,[271] as long ago as 1670,
and has been alluded to by many writers since his time.
The topmost bar of an iron railing in spring or early autumn will
generally be found peopled with minute spiders, and if the day be fair
and the wind light, the patient observer may be rewarded by a
curious and interesting sight.
The spider seeks the highest spot available, faces the wind, and
straightens its legs and body, standing, so to speak, upon its toes, its
abdomen with its spinning tubes being elevated as much as possible.
Streamers of silk presently appear from the spinnerets and float
gently to leeward on the light current of air. The spider has no power
to shoot out a thread of silk to a distance, but it accomplishes the
same result indirectly by spinning a little sheet or flocculent mass
which is borne away by the breeze.
When the streaming threads
pull with sufficient force the
animal casts off, seizes them with
its legs, and entrusts itself to the
air, whose currents determine the
height to which it is carried and
the direction of its journey. The
duration, however, is not quite
beyond the spider’s control, at all
events in calm weather, for it can
furl its sail at will, hauling in the
threads “hand-over-hand,” and
rolling them up into a ball with
jaws and palps.
This curious ballooning habit of
young Spiders is independent of
the particular family to which
they belong, and it is remarkable
that newly-hatched Lycosidae and
Aviculariidae, whose adult
existence is spent entirely on or
under the ground, should
manifest a disposition to climb
any elevated object which is at
hand. Fig. 189.—Young Spider preparing for
The “Gossamer,” which so an aerial voyage. (After Emerton.)
puzzled our forefathers, is
probably no mystery to the
reader. It is, of course, entirely the product of Spider industry,
though not altogether attributable to the habit of ballooning above
described. Only a small proportion of gossamer flakes are found to
contain spiders, though minute insects are constantly to be seen
entangled in them. They are not formed in the air, as was supposed
long after their true origin was known, but the threads emitted by
multitudes of spiders in their various spinning operations have been
intermingled and carried away by light currents of air, and on a still,
warm day in spring or autumn, when the newly-hatched spider-
broods swarm, the atmosphere is often full of them.
They rise to great heights, and may be carried to immense
distances. Martin Lister relates how he one day ascended to the
highest accessible point of York Minster, when the October air
teemed with gossamer flakes, and “could thence discern them yet
exceeding high” above him. Gilbert White describes a shower, at least
eight miles in length, in which “on every side, as the observer turned
his eyes, he might behold a continual succession of fresh flakes
falling into his sight, and twinkling like stars as they turned their
sides toward the sun.” The ascent of a hill 300 feet in height did not
in the least enable him to escape the shower, which showed no sign
of diminution.
The mortality among very young spiders must be exceedingly
great; indeed, this is indicated by the large number of eggs laid by
many species, an unfailing sign of a small proportion of ultimate
survivors. We shall have, by and by, to speak of some of their natural
enemies, but apart from these their numbers are sadly reduced by
the rigours of the weather, and appreciably also by their tendency to
cannibalism. A thunderstorm will often destroy a whole brood, or
they may perish from hunger in the absence of an adequate supply of
insects minute enough for their small snares and feeble jaws. In the
latter case they sometimes feed for a time on one another, and it is
even said that two or three of a brood may be reared on no other food
than their unfortunate companions.
The large and handsome Garden-spider, Epeira diademata, has
been known, when well fed, to construct six cocoons, each containing
some hundreds of eggs, and some species are even more fertile, while
their adult representatives remain stationary, or even diminish in
number.
Spider-Webs.—Some account has already been given of the
external and internal spinning organs of Spiders. Within the body of
the animal the silk is in the form of a gummy fluid; and this, being
emitted in exceedingly fine streams, solidifies as it meets the air. It
cannot be shot out to any distance, but the animal usually draws it
out by its hind legs, or attaches it to a spot, and moves away by
walking or allowing itself to drop. It has some power of checking the
output, and can stop at will at any point of its descent; but the
sphincter muscles of the apertures are but weak, and by steady
winding the writer has reeled out a hundred yards of the silk, the
flow of which was only then interrupted by the spider rubbing its
spinnerets together and breaking the thread.
There is, of course, no true spinning or interweaving of threads in
the process, but parallel silken lines are produced, varying in number
according to the special purpose for which they are designed, and
sometimes adhering more or less to one another on account of their
viscidity and closeness.
The silk is utilised in many ways, serving for the construction of
snares, nests, and cocoons, as well as for enwrapping the captured
prey, and for anchoring the spider to a spot to which it may wish to
return.
Spiders may be roughly distinguished as sedentary or vagabond,
the former constructing snares, and the latter chasing their prey in
the open. We will first consider the various forms of snare, beginning
with that characteristic of the Epeiridae.
The Circular Snare.—This familiar object, sometimes spoken of
as the orb-web or wheel-web, is always the work of some spider of
the Family Epeiridae.
The accuracy and regularity of form exhibited by these snares has
caused their architects to be sometimes called the geometric spiders.
The ingenuity displayed by them has always excited the admiration
of the naturalist, and this is increased on closer observation, for the
snares are in reality even more complex than they appear at first
sight.
The first care of the spider is to lay down the foundation threads
which are to form the boundary lines of its net. If the animal can
reach the necessary points of attachment by walking along
intervening surfaces the matter is comparatively simple. The
spinnerets are separated and rubbed against one of the points
selected, and the spider walks away, trailing behind it a thread which
it keeps free from neighbouring objects by the action of one of its
hind legs. On reaching another desirable point of attachment the line
is made taut and fixed by again rubbing the spinnerets against it. By
a repetition of this proceeding a framework is presently constructed,
within which the wheel or orb will ultimately be formed.
The process of fixing and drawing out a line can be conveniently
watched in the case of a Spider imprisoned in a glass vessel, and it
will be seen, by the aid of a lens, that a large number of very fine lines
starting from the point of attachment seem to merge into a single
line as the Spider moves away. This has given rise to the prevalent
and very natural idea that the ordinary spider’s line is formed or
“woven” of many strands. This, however, is not the case,[272] for the
fine attachment-lines are not continued into the main thread, but
only serve to anchor it to the starting-point.
As has been said, the spider can throw into play a varying number
of spinning tubes at will, and in point of fact those used in laying
down these foundation-lines are either two or four in number. The
spider, however, often finds it necessary to strengthen such a line by
going over it afresh.
Every one must have noticed that orb-webs frequently bridge over
gulfs that are clearly quite impassable to the spider in the ordinary
way. They often span streams—and Epeirid spiders cannot swim—or
they are stretched between objects unattainable from each other on
foot except by a very long and roundabout journey. When this is the
case, the animal has had recourse to the aid of the wind. A spider of
this family placed on a stick standing upright in a vessel of water is
helpless to escape if the experiment be tried in a room free from
draughts. With air-currents to aid it, silken streamers will at length
find their way across the water and become accidentally entangled in
some neighbouring object. When this has happened, the spider hauls
the new line taut, and tests its strength by gently pulling at it, and if
the result is satisfactory, it proceeds to walk across, hand-over-hand,
in an inverted position, carrying with it a second line to strengthen
the first. This is exactly what happens in nature when a snare is
constructed across chasms otherwise impassable, and it may be
imagined that the spider regards as very valuable landed property
the foundation lines of such a web, for, if destroyed, the direction or
absence of the wind might prevent their renewal for days. They are
accordingly made strong by repeated journeys, and are used as the
framework of successive snares, till accident at length destroys them.
A single line which finds anchorage in this way is sufficient for the
purposes of the spider. It has only to cross over to the new object,
attach a thread to some other point of it, and carry it back across the
