troni the iipiu-r iiiarifin, three-fourths ot" the way down on the 
cephaiothorax. The dark hrown abdomen is also eo\ ered with 
yellow hairs. These yellow hairs ga\e a grayish appearance to the

trochanter lioht brown, the t'enuir dark brown: the tibia, meta- 
tarsus and tarsus a lioht \ellow with upper marojn of each with a 
dark brown band. i'he legs were co\ered with light vellow hairs. 
The lirown spinnerets were co\ered with dark hairs. 
The young when first emerged were a dirty gray brown in the 
legs, palpi and cephalothorax : the abdomen was a clear vellow 
brown with a distinct black triangular pattern near the apex. The 
tarsus of the legs ami palpi were dark brown. Some of the spider- 
lings kept this same coloring anil pattern for a month, simpl\- grow- 
ing in si/e. Others in the same brood kept this same color and 
pattern (or two weeks and then changed. At this time the legs 
became a clear light bi-own, the tarsus being also ot the same color; 
the cephalothorax was the same dirt\' brown. There were two 
cer\ical grooves, one separating the head I rom the thorax and then 
at the Joining ot this groo\ e another one started toward either side 
at the base of the cephalothorax. Idie abdomen was the same clear 
yellow brown, onl\ at the base oi the abdomen near the upper mar- 
gm and on either side, small patches of brown mdicated the start- 
ing lumips ot the adult. idle black triangular pattern of the one

the color ot tlie rest ot the abtlomcn. It was not until the spider 
was lour months old that thei-c was any great change from this one.

the same except that at each moult it was (.larker. .At the end of 
four months the humps had developed into small knobs. The 
abdomen and ccplia!othoi-ax had become like the adult temale, but 
the legs had not taken on the gra\ coloring of the adult. Thev 
were still a dirtv brown. .\s both adult male and temale are alike 
in coloring, both sexes ot the voung remained the same in coloring 
throughout their life, the temale being larger in the last tew moults.
