 Qliivia . Found two specimens of this curious spider like Arach- 

 nid this summer, at Valmont, on June •28th and July 18th. Both were found 

 under .stones in a liot, dry place. I fouud one specimen of this same arach- 

 nid two years ago in Denver, under dry dung, and sent a drawing to Prof . 

 H. A. Hagen, Cambridge, who wrote back that it was an undescribed species 

 of Gluvia. a Mexican genus. At Canon City I found another specimen of 

 the same, or a similar .species under a jiiece of Ary dung in the dry bed of 

 sand creek, about two miles from town, on October 28d, 1874. Fouud an- 

 other and much smaller .'■pecimen November 4th, under a stone, just back of 

 town. It .seems to be a different kind. These animals are very pugnacious, 

 always ready to tight and struggle when they are caught; they are undoubt- 

 edly carnivorous in their habits. Usually I have found no other insect un- 

 der the same stone, etc. — [Note Hook, 1874. page 4.

 Gnlt'odex xuJmlatn, Say. A specimen of this species collected by Lieut. 

 Marc3% in Arkansas, and probably the one described by flirard in Marcy's 

 Report was shown me bv Dr. McCook. It was not very well preserved and 

 differs very considerably from the specimens of (i. pnUrprs, which I have 

 from Colorado. It is larger, more hairy and darker colored. I was unable 

 to examine it very closely. Besides this there is one small specimen from 

 Yucatan and three or four from unknown localities. * * — [Note Book.

 mens of a species of Galeii(le,>i. and have since been much interested in find-

 very much to know where Say's description can be fouud. In the report (by
