side of the abdomen has a dark median stripe in which is a long light 

 spot. The sternum is dark. The first legs are one-fourth longer than 

 the second in both sexes. The finger of the epigynum is pale, long 

 and pointed. 



The male is smaller than the female, my specimen about half as 

 large. The second tibia is a little thicker than the first but has the 

 usual spines and is not modified in shape. Figs. 9, 9 a, 9 b. PI. IL 



Buttonwoods near Providence, R. L, in low bushes, June 20,

Glyp to cranium coraigerum, Hentz, 



Ordgaritis comigerUm, McCook, American Spiders, Vol. 3, 1894. 



Male 1.5 mm. long. Cephalothorax low in front, rising backward 

 to a pair of forked spines a little behind the middle. The upper 

 middle eyes are raised on low ridges and the sides of the cephalo- 

 thorax are slightly roughened and ridged around the base of the spines. 

 The abdomen is wider than long, and nearly as high as wide, with two 

 rounded tubercles in front and several pairs of round opaque and 

 slightly depressed spots. The legs have no peculiar modifications 

 and the spines are slender and indistinguishable from the hairs. 

 In alcohol the cephalothorax and legs are orange brown and the ab- 

 domen pale yellow. Figs. 10, 10 a. PI. II. 



The male palpi are short and simple. The tarsus has a small 

 hook and the palpal organ a small and straight tube and a stronger 

 terminal hook, both a little darkened in color.

Cercidia prominens. 



This well-known European species mentioned by Banks from 

 Franconia, N. H., 1904, has been again found at North Woodstock, 

 N. H. in 1911 by Dr. Wm. H. Fox. 



The largest of these specimens are 5 mm. long and resemble in 

 general the genus Singa. The color in the lighter parts is pale dull 

 yellow and it is marked with dark brown and black. The legs are 

 ringed with brown at the ends of the joints and in the middle of the 

 tibia and metatarsus, and the cephalothorax has brown spots at the 

 sides and behind the eyes. The abdomen has several pairs of dark 

 transverse markings composed of finer black and brown spots. The 

 front end of the abdomen has a blunt point which extends over the 

 thorax and on each side of this point is a row of four or five black 

 spines. The back of the abdomen is two-thirds covered by an oval
