[A male was also found April 25, with black clots all over 

 the legs, except on the thighs, and also with six black dots on 

 each side of the abdomen; but evidently the same species; 

 legs arranged 1. 2. 4. 3. It is nocturnal in its habits. Supple-

29. Epeira rubella. 



PI. 13, fig. 22. 



Description. Bright rufous ; abdomen oblong, with a white 

 longitudinal band ; feet slender ; a very small species. 



Observations. This little spider was found on a web which I 

 think was perpendicular. It may prove to be the young of E. 

 directa, but it is not probable. 



Habitat. Alabama. August.

30. Epeira sutrix. 

 PI. 13, fig. 23. 



Description. Whitish ; covered with short silvery hair, varied 

 with brownish abbreviated lines, and bands on the feet. [479.] 

 Observations. This spider, found on the sea shore, has the 

 talent of adding to the strength of its web, in places where the 

 wind ever moves it, by adding to it strong white threads in a 

 zigzag manner, just as a seamstress darns stockings. This is 

 usually done between two of the concentric lines, and also in a 

 circular way in the middle of the web. 

 Habitat. South Carolina ; Pennsylvania.
