XOTES 



1. Pachylomerus solstitialis. — The only reason I bave to infer thut solstitialis is (bo male of caro. 

 linensis is tbe fact tbat carolinensis is described as a female, solstitialig as a male — botb from the same 

 locality ; that tbe opposite sexes of these two species have not been found and there is nothing in 

 their structural characters to oppose this view. • 



2. The old Walckenarian generic denomination Mygale, which comprised all those spiders which 

 are now considered as Territelaria; has generallj- been abandoned and its species have been distributed 

 in their proper genera. 



The species of our country, described under this name by various older authors, have all been as- 

 signed their places in modern classification but two : jluviatilis, Heutz, aud 7iotasiana, Walck., which 

 have not boon observed again. I have to leave these, therefore, under Mygale. 



3. Hentz united indiscriminately iu his geuus JJcrpyllus all the Drassidre (scnsu strictu) and some 

 genera of other families. I was not able to determine all his species and place them iu their proper 

 genera, but had to leave four species jjrovisionly under the old name Herptjllus. 



4. I can not understand why Mr. Emcrton has resurrected the family Oinijlonidm, Blackw. Black- 

 wall has based this family upon only one characteristic point, the presence of the Cribellum and Cala- 

 mistrum, a feature which occurcd in the most widely s -paratod and heterogeneous forms. This family 

 was, therefore, never recognized bj' any other arachnologists. 



5. Thalamla. — This spider I have not seen myself nor road any description of or remarks about it 

 except tbe little tbat Hentz bad to say. But in my endeavor to recognize Ueutz's spiders, I have been 

 convinced that Thalamia belongs to the family Urotcidce rather than to any other family ; the arrange- 

 ment of the eyes, the long spinnerets, and the shape of the cephalothorax will justify such opinion.
