OVIPOSITION OF A CAPTIVE AMERICAN FALSE SPIDER 167 



attribute by means of which she distinguishes the living from 

 the not-living. 



6. Like the Indian Galeodes she deposits her milk-white, 

 spherical eggs in the bottom of a burrow; unlike the Indian 

 species she closes the mouth of the burrow and leaves the eggs 

 to their fate. 



7. She lays, at intervals, more than one batch of eggs a season. 



8. Judging from the mother's behavior in captivity, the young 

 are allowed to. shift for themselves ; the Indian Galeodes described 

 by Hutton protects her young.
