line on the edge is apple green. The abdomen has the same pat- 
tern as in the younger ones, only outlined by a darker red. Around 
the first two portions of the pattern is a white space. This white 
space is found in the adult, only separated into two areas. The 
upper portion of the abdomen has a ground color of orange yel- 
low with darker orange edge, while the lower portion has a great 
deal more yellow in it. The legs have the same coloring as in the 
last stage described, only areas of gray coloring have appeared in 
the lower margins of the femur and the upper and lower margins 
of the tibia and the end of the tarsus. On the palpi we find the 
gray on the upper and lower margins of all the joints except the 
coxa. The spinnerets protrude below the abdomen and are coy- 
ered with short black hairs. (Fig. D, Plate II.) 
The next stage seems almost a retrogression in the color develop- 
ment except for the growth of the cephalothorax. (Fig. E, Plate 
II.) The eye space has assumed a small position in the center 
of the cephalic portion of the cephalothorax. The color is brown. 
On either edge of the upper margin of this portion of the cephalo- 
thorax are found two brown spots which are on the adult. The 
median stripe down the center of the cephalothorax is green with 
dark brown splotches and the same shape as the others. The edges 
had a light brown irregular stripe and all traces of the red band was 
gone. At the joining of the green median stripe and the brown 
stripe near the lower margin of the cephalothorax was a black spot 
showing the beginning of the black spot in the same place in the 
adult. The space around the eye space and on either side of the 
median stripe was light yellow green. The abdomen had lost nearly 
all the folium except remains of its outer edges. The upper portion 
of the abdomen is light yellow, nearly white; the lower portion yel- 
low green; the remains of the pattern in the center of the abdomen. 
The white space on either side of the folium remained and the 
lower portion of the sides of the abdomen was a pinkish yellow. 
The abdomen has become slightly constricted near the upper mar- 
gin and has assumed a great deal of the shape of the abdomen of 
the adult. The legs are a transparent color. The coxa has besides 
the gray at the upper and lower margins, a band of green on the 
upper margin. The trochanter was light gray, almost white, with
