20 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



Legs, not very long, subequal, 4, i, 2, 3, slender, furnished simply with 

 fine hairs, and of a yellower brown hue than the cephalothorax. 

 Palpi, similar to the legs in colour, excepting the radial joint, which 

 is strongly suffused with dark yellow-brown. They are rather short, 

 the cubital and radial joints about equal in length. The latter is 

 strongest, and has its fore extremity on the upper side produced into 

 a rather short, finger-like, tapering apophysis on the inner side, and a 

 shorter but broader and squarely truncated one close to it on the 

 outer side. The digital joint is small. The palpal organs are rather 

 complex, prominent near the middle on the outer side, with a slender 

 coiled black spine at their extremity ; and within its coil is another 

 prominent black spine, rather bent in the middle, and at first sight 

 giving the appearance of a duplex termination to the coiled spine. 

 Falces, moderately strong, about equal in length to the height of the 

 facial space, and slightly divergent towards their extremity, where, on 

 the inner side, they are furnished with a few very fine denticulations. 

 Maxilla, moderate in length, very strong at their base, and their 

 extremities almost touching over the labium. Labium, small, rather 

 broader than long, its apex somewhat rounded. Sternum, large, 

 very convex and glossy, heart-shaped, with the posterior point rather 

 broad and obtuse ; it is of a sooty-olive hue, the fakes, maxillae, and 

 labium being like the legs in colour. Abdomen, oval, sooty-black, 

 shining, and furnished sparingly with short fine hairs. 



The example above described was found at Aberlady, Scotland, 

 by Mr. William Evans of Edinburgh, and kindly sent to me through 

 Mr. G. H. Carpenter of the Museum of Science and Art, Dublin. 

 Although differing in some slight respects from T. digitatus, Camb., 

 I feel tolerably certain (in the unfortunate absence of the type for 

 comparison) that it belongs to that species. The occurrence of this 

 spider in Scotland is its first record in Great Britain. 



Gen. nov. CALEDONIA. 



Cephalothorax, broad-oval, obtusely rounded in front, lateral 

 marginal constrictions at the caput scarcely perceptible. Caput broad, 

 obtuse, well rounded, but not elevated ; in profile the rise is gradual 

 from behind to the occiput, where there is a slight dip, and which is 

 roundly convex, but scarcely gibbous. The height of the clypeus, 

 which is nearly vertical, is scarcely more than one-third that of the 

 facial space. Eyes, of moderate size, sub-equal, excepting those of 

 the fore-central pair, which are smallest. They occupy the whole 

 width of the caput and form a large triangle whose base is much 

 longer than its perpendicular height, and its apex (formed by the fore- 

 central eyes) truncated. Legs, moderately long, 4, i, 2, 3, slender, 

 furnished with hairs and a few erect, slender, bristle-like spines 

 i on the genua, and i to 2 on the tibiae. Falces, not very strong, 

 rather long, divergent, and furnished on the inner side near their
