T h e body and legs o f this Spider was o f a hair-colour, with a
fmall black mark acrofs the upper end o f the back : its belly o f a
blaekifh colour. It was taken in the fields, in the beginning o f A p r il.
The eyes are fo fmall, that it could not be perceived how many it
had, or their manner o f Handing.

T h i s Spider was all over o f a light hair-colour, with a black lpot
on the upper fide o f its belly, the under fide o f which was o f an afli
colour ; it was taken in the fields, in the beginning o f A p r il, running
amongft the leaves and dead grafs.

T hi s Spider was o f a dark colour, the upper fide o f the belly being
finely marked with a row o f circular fpots from the back to the end o f
the tail with a fcolloped line on each fide 5 the back was dark on each
fide, and light in the middle. It had two eyes Handing as they are
placed in the Plate, over the head o f the Spider. Its feelers were long
and flender, as are all thole o f the female Spiders, the male having
globular bunches or knobs at the ends o f their horns or feelers : the young
ones are marked exa&ly like the old ones ; only they look very pal©
which makes them appear as i f they were naked, but may be eafily
known. This is one o f the houfe Spiders, whofe vertues are excellent
in the cure o f intermitting fevers, when the bark and other remedies
have failed, as I have often experienced on lèverai, both old and young ;
the ufe o f which I will now publifh for the benefit o f the poor and
country people, who are remote from the help o f phyficians.
