Color in Life (d" from Sea Isle). — Cep ha lot ho rax marked intri- 

 cately with white, a^ray-browu aud black, as follows: Head white 

 with a short black line passing downward and backward from each 

 posterior eye ; a broad dorsal area of white margined with grayish- 

 brown and black in inlerdigitating patches; sides mainly Avhite 

 interrupted with grayish-brown lines, the extreme margin blackish. 

 Sternum pale green. Abdomen with a medio-dorsal stripe of gray 

 on the anterior half interruptedly margined with black, and on 

 each side of the mid-line extending back to the spinnerets a row 

 of 6-7 white spots margined with black aud brownish ; sides above 

 white with black spots, below entirely white; venter immaculate 

 white, lu7ig books faint yellow, spinnerets greenish-brown. Che- 

 licera black with long white hairs on the anterior surface, and 

 a pale prominence at the supero -lateral angle. Labium black. 

 Maxillce pale brownish. Legs white with distinct brownish annula- 

 tions and blotches on all joints except upon the brownish metatarsi, 

 and more distinct above than below. Palpi colored like the legs, 

 but the tarsi blackish. The females are colored like the males. 



Comparisons.— Tho, form here described is very probably the 

 same as Hentz's Lycosa maritima. Whether it exactly agrees with 

 the European L. cinerea I cannot decide from the descriptions of 

 the authors, and have not had opportunity to see for myself speci- 

 mens from Europe. If they should eventually prove not to be the 

 same then Hentz's name would be applicable. Banks (1891) 

 regards maritima Hentz as a synonym of cinerea (Fabr. ). 



The single c? I obtained at Sea Isle differs from the c^cf' in the 

 Stone collection from Pt. Pleasant in its much smaller size, and in 

 that the first row of eyes is placed exactly upon the front edge of the 

 head and not removed from it by a distance equaling the diameter 

 of its smaller eyes. It is possible there may be two geographical 

 varieties on the New Jersey coast,
