a li^ht apple green shading tiown to yellow green in the meta- 
tarsus and tarsus. Near the upper margin ot the tibia were four 
small ret! rings. One can \ery well see that e\en in this early 
stage there is a good beginning for the brilliant markings of the 
adult. The next moult took place in ten days. The coloring of 
the cephalothorax and abdomen remained the same except where 
there had been small white pits on the abdomen in the earlier stages 
there now was a black spine for e\ery pit. It was in the legs where 
the greatest change took place. Fhe ground color of the legs was 
light lemon yellow. The coxa was light lemon yellow with three 
black spots; the trochanter had eight to ten black spots, the upper 
margin of this joint being yellow green; the femur had from four 
to se\en black spots, with patches of apple green. The tibia, meta- 
tarsus and tarsus were orange with darker orange at the upper and 
lower margin of the joints. The tibia and metatarsus ha\'e from 
two to H\'e black spots, the tarsus of the rirst two legs has two 
black spots, the same joint of the last two legs has none. The 
light yellow palpi have two black spots on the trochanter, femur 
and tibia; the other joints are bare. The spines appeared on the 
legs in this stage, while not all that are found on the legs of the 
adult were found, yet a good portion were started of very good 
size. No short hairs had appeared yet on the body or legs. 
There were two moults between this stage and the next one 
minutely described, but in either moult there was not any marked 
external change other than in size. The body changed from a 
round, short, thick shape to a long oval abdomen with a large 
cephalothorax to a shape almost like that of the adult. ( Fig. C, 
Plate II.) The next stage in the color pattern de\elopment 
occurred when the young was twenty-two days old. (Fig. D, Plate 
11.) The eye space is beginning to narrow at the lower margin, the 
median part of the thoracic portion of the cephalothorax is dark 
brown with light brown center. This dark stripe has two horns 
toward the eye space and two small hair lines at the lower margin 
of the cephalothorax which extends to the edges of the cephalo- 
thorax. On the edge of the cephalothorax is a small red line and 
next to it a dark brown irregular line broken by green spots. The 
space between the median dark line and the dark irregular brown
