146 ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH ARACHNIDA. 



the legs are mottled with blackish, deep brown, reddish, and 

 paler markings, being palest and least marked towards the 

 extremity. 



The palpi are short and strong ; the radial joint has a strong 

 apophysis from its fore-extremity on the outer side. This 

 apophysis appears to be somewhat bent, and is prominent and 

 very obtuse, but its exact shape is most difficult to be seen, and 

 the drawings given can hardly be said to represent it satis- 

 factorily. The palpal organs are highly developed and rather 

 complex, consisting of several strong curved and sharp-pointed 

 processes, and surrounded by a long strong tapering pointed 

 spine. This spine runs round sinuously on their inner side, and 

 ends in a bold prominent coil at their fore-extremity. 



The four eyes of the central quadrangle appear to form almost 

 an exact square, contrary to the ordinary diagnosis for this 

 genus, which is that of a quadrangle whose width is less than its 

 length. 



I have not been able to compare the above with any typical 

 example of Westring's spider, but M. Simon, to whom I sent 

 drawings of it, believes it to be of the same species. 



It was found in a sandpit at Woking, and kindly sent to me 

 by Mr. H. Donisthorpe in 1906. Whatever it may ultimately 

 prove to be, it is certainly new to Great Britain.
