except the base. The bristle and the third hook articulate 

 together and with the base. The fourth hook seems to be a 

 process of the upper hook. The lower hook articulates with 

 the middle piece, and seems to have no motion of its own. 

 The upper hook articulates with the lower piece. Taken in 

 North Carolina in March, and in Massachusetts in May. Sup-

2. Tegenaria persica. 

 PI. 11, fig. 23. 



Description. Pale gray ; cephalothorax with serrated black 

 lines ; abdomen obscure, with about eight pale oblique spots, 

 central line blackish, upper mammulae very long, obscure be- 

 neath, with indistinct markings ; feet varied with many [464] 

 blackish rings. Male not differing from the female ; feet, 4. 1. 

 or 1. 4. 2. 3. A small species. 



Observations. This is quite distinct from T. medicinalis, by 

 its size, markings, and particularly by the respective length of 

 the legs, the first pair of which is very frequently as long as, 

 or longer than, the fourth. It makes its web on the trunk of 

 trees, with a winding tube turned downward, very much like 

 that of Agelena. I often found it on the peach tree. It never 

 was found larger than the mark on the plate. 



Habitat. Alabama. September. 



3. Tegenaria? flavens.
