Spiders from the Andaman Islands.  . 227 
from those islands*. Only two of M. Simon’s species 
were known to arachnologists as inhabiting other parts of 
Southern Asia, especially Burma and the Malay Archi- 
pelago; the rest (five species) were all new to science. To 
the seven species mentioned by M. Simon I am now able to 
add fourteen more, captured in Table Island by Mr. Oates, 
and kindly placed by him in my hands for examination. 
Though only two of these spiders (petra Oatesit and Salticus 
modestus) appear to be new, a list of them may, I think, be of 
some interest, as it affords strong evidence of the conformity 
of the spider fauna of the Andamans with that of Burma on 
the one side and the Malay Archipelago on the other; the 
twelve already-known species belong, in fact, also to the fauna 
of Burma or to that of the Malay Archipelago, and are even 
common to these two regions, with the exception perhaps of 
Argyroepeira pusilla, from Amboina, of Sarotes impudicus, 
which had hitherto been captured in Burma only, and of Tela- 
monta Peckhamit, which had been found in the Nicobar Islands 
and Sumatra. 
The twenty-one species of spiders now known to inhabit 
the Andamans belong to the following tribes :—Territelariz 
(1 sp.), Retitelaria (2 sp.), Orbitelariz (10 sp.), Citigrade 
(1 sp.), Laterigrade (2 sp.), and Saltigrade (5 sp.). More- 
over the ‘Tubitelarie are, im) Mir! Oates’s collection, repre- 
sented by a few young specimens belonging to the genera 
Clubiona and Hutittha; but these specimens (and that of a 
Lycosa) are not sufficiently developed to be determined or 
described. Also among the Andaman spiders studied by 
M. Simeon there were young representatives of several genera 
(Homalattus, Oxyopes, Nephila, | Meta= Argyroepeira?), Her- 
stlia, Chiracanthium) that are not included in our lists of the 
spiders of the islands. 
The species contained in Mr. Oates’s collection are as 
follows :—
