A. E. Verrill—The Bermuda Islands. 



833 



Two or three species that appear to be endemic are known only 

 from Bermuda, but they may eventually be found in the West 

 Indies. These are as follows: — 



Thomisus (Xysticus) patlens Black well. 



Oonops Bermtodensis Banks, op. cit., p. 269, fig. 1, 1902. Fig. 209. 



Lycosa Atlantica Marx, type from Bermuda. It may be the 

 same as L. fusca Keys., from Cuba (t. Banks). Fig. 220. A dark 

 brown or almost black Wolf-spider. 



Dr. Fr. Dahl (Plankton Exped., i, pt. 1, p. 110, 1892) recorded 

 undetermined species of Clubiona and Trochosa. 



Notes on Colors of the Spiders. 



The following notes were made on the size and colors of a part 

 of the spiders, after they had been preserved for a short time in for- 

 malin solution ; apparently the colors had not much changed, but 

 the size of the abdomen was often considerably diminished by 

 hardening and shrinking. 



Filistata hibernalis Hentz ; Large Brown Spider. Figures 210, 211. 



Cephalothorax of a female, orange-brown or rufous, a black patch 

 between the eyes; legs of the same color, with narrow bands of white 

 at the joints beneath, and becoming blackish at tips, partly covered

with scattered black hairs ; falcers small, dark brown, with black 

 hairs, the terminal piece black ; abdomen plain pale buff with black 

 hairs, not crowded ; palpi stout and short, deep orange-brown, like 

 the legs, black distally. 



Length of body of female, about .75 inch (18 to 20 mm ).
