fome, a brownilli facula, which projefted towards the thorax, was vifible in the male; which
in the female could only be obferved in a veiy few. The arms of the male have four or five
prickles, and fexual organs, fimilar to thofe exhibited at A. The arms of the female are
cylindric, hairy, and without prickles. The holders are hairy, perpendicular, and black.
The follicles of eggs are orbicular and flattiili, whitiih above, and black below; they are alfo
edged on the upper part with a lucid line or iuture. See Fauna Suecica. n. 1219.

A F T E R the middle of June, this fpecies, plate 4, fig. 10, was common, in dry or bare
places: towards the end of the month the females carried their bags of eggs about with
them.
THE eyes and legs of thefe are altogether like thofe of the two fpecies juft defcribed. The
thorax is blackiih, ovate, flender, and flightly carinated towards the fore-part, broader and
flattiili towards the hind-part. A brownifh facula, like a ligament, appears on it, which is
fomewhat brighter towards the abdomen, and more duiky in the middle : the thorax on the
other parts is fprinkled with thin and fcarce vifible down. The abdomen blackiih, all over
haiiy : that of the male is marked in the middle by a flender brownifh facula; that of the
female has no fuch mark, but is diftinguiflaed by a fafciculus of whitifli hair in a black bafe
towards the thorax. The arms are hairy. The holders dark and perpendicular. The bag
of eggs is duiky beneath, whitifli above, and of a flattifli orbicular fliape. Whenever the
females, in pafllng through any narrow place unawares, find their bag of eggs pulled away
from them, they dread no danger, but immediately endeavour to recover it, and when they
have got it, they carry it into the neareft convenient recefs, and replace it, as tightly as before,
beneath the abdomen towards the thorax, fo as to be conveniently carried; which done, they
again refume their journey.

T H I S spider, plate 5, fig. i, was taken in a meadow, and muft be confidered as one of the
larger fort of this divifion.
THE eyes, which are of the common ftrafture, are black., The legs all hairy, with many
coarfe hairs'and prickles. The thorax very hairy, of an oblong oval fliape, blackifli, and
marked with a brownifli ftrap, or broad longitudinal line, and with a border ot the fame
colour near the legs. The arms hairy and brownifli. The holders brownifli, and a little
hairy.
P L A T E 6, fig. 7, fliews another fort, which, whether a variety of the one juft defcribed,
ora diftinft fpecies, I am not able to fay. I found one of each fort; the former on the
2Sth of May, and the latter on the 15th of June. This was like the other in all parts, except
the legs, which in this were fcarce fafciated.
THE thoracic ligament was brown, and fituated at about the third part, near the abdomen.
A brownifli oval fliarp-pointed fpot was confpicuous on the abdomen.
