connect in front with a large white patch extending backward in 
the middle nearly as far as the dorsal eyes. The abdomen is 
marked with a front white band and five or six pairs of white 
spots extending forward on their inner corners. The legs are ringed 
with white at the ends of the joimts. In alcohol the white dis- 
appears and the abdomen appears marked with a series of black 
spots on a light ground. The first legs are 5.5 mm. long, with the 
tibia a little thickened. The palpus of the male differs but little 
from that of capitatus and flavipedes. The bulb is wide at the 
base and more nearly square than in capitatus. The tube resemb- 
les that of flavipedes in having a long process parallel to it, but 
both are curved in a half circle, fig. 3. 
Two males were found in the moss near Spalding’s Spring on 
the Mt. Washington range at a height of 5000 ft., July 6, 1904, 
and a female at the same place, July 4, 1907. 
A female found in the same locality several years later is 7 mm. 
long and dark brown with light gray hairs without any distinct 
white or yellow marks. In alcohol the abdomen shows indistinctly 
light marks similar to those at mzlitaris. The epigynum has the 
notch shallow and truncate and the two openings a little farther 
apart and more angular than in mztaris.

The males do not differ from the females as much as in capitatus 
and miltarts. My specimens are 4 mm. in length. The cephalo- 
thorax is ight brown as in female cafitatus, with white longitudinal 
bands at the sides below the eyes widening behind. The abdomen 
has the dark middle area broken by three pairs of spots in the 
* front half and three or four light chevrons behind. The dark area 
is less sharply defined than in the male capitatus and connects with 
several oblique rows of dark spots. The legs are not ringed as in 
the other species but pale and translucent with longitudinal dark 
lines on the inner side. One of the the males from Portland, Me., 
and others from Fitzwilliam, N. H., are light gray, almost as light 
as Drassus saccatus without any distinct markings on the. back, but 
with fine distinct longitudinal black stripes on the legs. The male 
palpi are a little darker than the legs and the tarsi and the palpal 
organs resemble those of D. capitatus, except that the tip of the 
palpal organ is double, the tube having a slightly curved process 
longer than itself parallel with it on the outer side. The process
