 [Read Itli August, 1898.] 



Professor Baldwin Spencer kindly handed nie a small collection 

 of spiders recently received by himself and Mr. C. French from 

 the Upper Endeavour River, Queensland, which on examination 

 I find to contain some features of considerable interest. 



I append the list of species as follows : — 

 Gasteracantha vittata, Thorell - 3 females 



Gasteracantha suminata, L. Koch - 1 ,, 

 Nephila fuscipes, C. Koch - - 3 „ 

 Nephila (? sulphurosa, L. Koch) - 1 male 

 Nephilengys (Nephila, E. Simon) 



rainbowi, nov. sp. - - 2 females 



Argiope principalis, L. Koch - - 1 „ 

 Epeira (Araneus, E. Simon) capitalis, 



L. Koch - - - - 1 „ 



,, ,, producta, L. Koch 



young, half-grown 



„ ,, nephilina, L. Koch 



Cyrtophora parnasia, L. Koch - 

 Poltys frenchi, nov. sp. - 

 Aname pallida, L. Koch - 

 Phlogius crassipes, L. Koch 

 Heteropoda pallida, L. Koch - 

 Hetei'opoda salacia, L. Koch - 

 Cymbacha saucia, L. Koch 

 Hasarius albocinctus, v. Keyserling 



The 27 specimens are representative of at least 16 species and 

 of 12 genera. They come from a district well worked by L. 

 Koch's friends and collectors but include two certainly new 

 species.
