Plate XIII., p. 183, fig. A.—Silk lining of tube of Atypus piceus (Sulz.), taken at Troyes in Champagne, and communicated to me by M. E. Simon; B, drawing of portion of nest of Cyrtauchenius elongatus (Sim.) made after the description of the discoverer, and subject to his (M. E. Simon's) corrections. This is the only illustration in the present work not taken from an actual specimen. These figures are of the natural size.

Plate XIV., p. 193.—Diagrams of the known types of trap-door nest. Fig. A, nest of Atypus piceus (Sulz.); B, nest of cork type; B 1, the layers of silk with earth rims of which a cork door is composed; C, single-door unbranched wafer type; D, single-door branched wafer type; E double-door unbranched wafer type; E 1, lower door of the same, of the natural size; F, Hyères double-door branched wafer type; F 1, lower door of the same, of the natural size; G, and G 1, double-door branched cavity wafer type. At G 1 the perfect type is seen, while at G, the descending cavity, the outlines of which are indicated by dotted lines, has been filled up; G 2, lower door of the same of the natural size. (Figs. A, B, C, D, E, F, G and G 1, diagrammatic representations of nest on a reduced scale, Figs. B 1, E 1, F 1 and G 2, of the natural size).

B, cephalothorax and abdomen of another specimen of N. Simoni, in which the proportions are different, taken from life, of the natural size.

Plate XVII., p. 215, fig. A.—Part of the nest of N. suffusa (Camb.) taken at Montpellier; A 1, N. suffusa (Camb.) from life, of the natural size; A 2, the same in spirits, seen sideways and magnified, the legs not represented; A 3, another view of the same; A 4, the eyes, magnified; A 5, length of spider (see above, fig.

B 5, plate XV.); C, N. meridionalis (Costa and Sim.) female, from a specimen in spirit of wine, of the natural size, legs not represented; C 1, eyes of the same, magnified; C 2, length of spider. These two specimens (male and female) were collected in Corsica, and named by M. E. Simon, who kindly presented them to me; they are now in the possession of the Rev. O. Pickard-Cambridge.

Plate XVIII., p. 225, fig. A.—Part of nest of N. congener (Camb.) taken at Hyères; A 1, lower door of this nest viewed from above, of the natural size; A 2, side view of the same; A 3, N. congener (Camb.) taken from life, of the natural size; A 4, side view of the same, enlarged to twice the natural size, the legs not represented; A 5, cephalothorax and falces from specimen in spirits, magnified;108 A 6, the eyes, magnified; A 7, femur, patella (or genual joint) and tibia of leg of third pair, showing the three spines on the outer side of the patella, magnified. B, lower door from a smaller and younger nest, viewed from above, of the natural size; B 1, the same viewed sideways.

[108] While these pages were passing through the press (Hyères, Oct. '74), I have had an opportunity of examining 17 additional specimens of N. congener. I learn from this that the pattern represented on the caput in fig. A 5, does not accord with that in the majority of adult specimens, being usually less defined and composed of three converging bands. Mr. Pickard-Cambridge's description (p. 293 below) is, however, quite correct. I may mention that three spines were present on the patella (genual joint) of legs III in 16 specimens, the 17th specimen having but a single spine.

Plate XIX., p. 229, fig. A.—Nest of a young specimen of N. Manderstjernæ (Ausserer = N. meridionalis Camb., in "Ants and Spiders," p. 101) from Mentone, showing the descending cavity, with the lower door pushed across, so as to close the main tube and join the cavity; A 1, upper portion of the same, showing the lower door closing the branch. B, N. cæmentaria (Latr.) from a living specimen taken at Montpellier; B 1, the same seen in spirits of wine, legs not represented; B 2, the eyes, magnified; B 3, one of the two larger claws; and B 4, the small claw of the tarsus of one of the hindmost legs; B 5, length of spider; B 6, measurements of legs and palpus. C, the eyes of N. Moggridgii (Camb.) (= N. cæmentaria, Camb., in "Ants and Spiders," p. 92), magnified. D, N. incerta (Camb.), male, from a specimen preserved in spirits, collected at Digne in the Basses Alpes, by M. E. Simon, who kindly lent me the specimen for examination, represented of twice the natural size, and without the legs; D 1, another view of the same; D 2, radial and digital joints of the palpus and palpal bulb, magnified; D 3, back view of the same; D 4, the eyes magnified. E, eyes of N. dubia (Camb.), male (= N. cæmentaria, Sim.), from a specimen in spirits, collected in the Pyrénées Orientales, communicated by M. Simon, magnified; E 1, radial and digital joints of the palpus with palpal bulb of the same, magnified; E 2, another view of the same.

A, Cteniza Moggridgii (Camb.), male (= Ct. fodiens, Camb., in "Ants and Spiders," p. 89), from a living specimen taken at Mentone, of the natural size; A 1, the same seen sideways, the legs not represented; A 2, cephalothorax and falces of the same; A 3, the eyes; A 4, radial and digital joints and the palpal bulb; A 5, another view of the same; A 6, one of the two large claws, and A 7, the small claw of the tarsus of one of the legs of the hindmost pair; A 8, length of the spider and breadth of the cephalothorax; A 9, measurements of legs and palpus. (Figs. A 1, A 2, A 3, A 4, A 5, A 6, and A 7, are all magnified.) B, N. Manderstjernæ (Ausserer), male (= N. meridionalis, Camb., in "Ants and Spiders," p. 101), from a living specimen taken at Mentone, of the natural size; B 1, the same seen in spirits and magnified to twice the natural size; B 2, the same viewed sideways; B 3, the eyes; B 4, tibia, metatarsus and tarsus of the right leg of the first pair showing the spine and process on the under and inner side of the enlarged tibia; B 5, right leg of the third pair showing the three short spines on the patella; B 6, one of the two large claws, and B 7, the small claw of the tarsus of one of the legs of the hindmost pair; B 8, radial and digital joints of palpus with palpal bulb; B 9, another view of the same; B 10, back view of the same (figs. B 1 to B 10, all magnified); B 11, measurements of legs and palpus. C, tibia, metatarsus and tarsus of right leg of N. Manderstjernæ (Ausserer), male, viewed from the under side and magnified, drawn from the original specimen belonging to Dr. L. Koch, collected at Nice, and described as N. Manderstjernæ by Professor Ausserer. My best thanks are due to Dr. L. Koch for having enabled me to examine this valuable specimen. [In fig. C, the curved spine should bend towards, and not away from, the process on its right and inner side.]
