distinguished from parts of the palpal organ. In P. arcuata this 
appendage is as long as the palpal organ and nearly as wide. In 
C. brevis it is narrow but longer than the rest of the tibia. This 
appendage was not noticed in my description of 7eg. brevis but is 
correctly described by Banks under C. creber in the Spiders of 
Ithica. In C. pallida, although it is larger than dvevis, the palpal 
organ is smaller, and the appendage of the tibia reaches only to 
its base.

Cicurina complicata, Em. Trans. Conn. Acad., 1890. 
In New England Agalenide &c. Trans. Conn. Acad., 1890, Pl. VII, 
fig. 2a is the epigynum of this species, not of Coelotes longitarsus. 
Cicurina pallida, Keys. Zool. Botan. Ges. Wien, 1887. (Plate VII, 
Heures. 7 tO iC.) 
5 mm. long and pale and without markings. The cephalothorax 
is 2.5 mm. in length and 1.5mm. wide, the head only a little narrower 
in the male than in the female. The epigynum is smaller than that 
of C. brevis and the parts seen through the skin rounder. The tarsi 
of the male palpus are as long as those of brevis, but more pointed 
and the palpal organ is smaller and more simple, though resembling 
in its general structure that of brevis. The process of the tibia 
which is so long and conspicuous im complicata and in brevis, is in 
pallida but little longer than the rest of the tibia, Pl. VIII, fig. 7. 
Found under leaves at Sharon and Northfield, Mass., in company 
with brevis and complicata. 
Cryphoeca montana, new. (Plate VIII, figures 4 to 41.) 
Cryphoeca peckhamii, Simon, from Washington territory, resembles 
this species. 
Males 4 mm. long, females 3 mm. General appearance like a 
small Coelotes or Amaurobius. The cephalothorax is narrowed in 
front of the first legs and at that point is as high as wide, curving 
downward toward the eyes. The eyes cover half the width of the 
front of the head, both rows arched upward. The upper row is 
largest, the eyes of equal size, and equal distances apart. In the 
lower row the middle eyes are half the size of the lateral. The 
lateral eyes of both rows touch each other. The sternum extends 
in a long blunt point between the coxe of the fourth legs. The 
legs are of moderate length, the fourth longest in females, and the 
first in males. The first and second legs have two spines on the
