epigynum has a large oval opening divided at the posterior end 
into two. The hard brown part around the hole extends forward 
on each side like a pair of horns turning toward each other at 
the ends. 
The male palpi have a long process on the upper side of the 
tibia that extends over the tarsus for a third of its length. It is 
narrowed in the middle and obliquely truncated at the end. The 
palpal organ is hard and brown, smooth around the base, and 
divided at the end into a complicated group of processes, Pl. IX, 
fig. 2a.

Clubiona spiralis. (Plate X, figures 10, 10a, 10b, 10c.) 
6 mm. long, fourth leg, 9mm. Larger than C. rubra and longer 
legged, but resembling it in the short mandibles and the arrange- 
ment of the eyes with the upper middle pair farther apart than 
they are from the lateral eyes. The male palpi have a general 
resemblance to those of rubra, but the double lateral process is 
differently shaped, round at the base and with the tip sharp and 
curved upward. The tarsus and palpal organ are more elongated 
than in rubra, and the large black process more slender. The only 
specimen found is pale, even to the mandibles. 
Magnolia, Mass. 
Two females, one from Ipswich, Mass. and one from the Blue 
Hills appear to belong to this species. They are the same size 
and color and have the same eye arrangement, with the legs shorter 
and stouter, us usual in females of this genus. The epigynum is 
shown in Fig. 10c. -It has a partly divided transverse opening 
turned forward. 
Clubiona prematura, new. (Plate X, figures 7, 7a, 7b.) 
In N. E. Spiders of the Family Drassidez, etc. this species is con- 
founded with C. ornata (Americana Bks.), on account of the distinct 
dorsal markings of the female which until recently was the only 
sex known. It is a little smaller than orvata, the cephalothorax of 
the female being 2.2 mm. long, and the abdomen from 4 mm. when 
filled with eggs, to 3mm. after the eggs have been laid. The color 
is pale, with the cephalothorax slightly darkened on the head and 
mandibles. ‘The abdomen has a pattern similar to that of ornata, 
but less distinct. The arrangement of the eyes is similar to that 
of ornata, the upper middle pair being only slightly farther apart 
than they are from the lateral eyes. The shape of the border of
