every respect, includiiiG: the muis-iuil structure and shape of 

 tlie hmulla chaiacteristica. I have Jio hesitation in sinking 

 the former name ainonixst the synonyms of J7. beatus. I 

 have, of course, examined the types. 



Phaulothiix hardii, Bl. 



Tmeticus hardii, Bl., Camb., I>ist of British & Irish Spiders, 1900. 

 Tmeticus catyenteri, Canib., Pioc. Dorset Xat. Hist. & Antiq. Field 

 Club, vol. XV., 1894, pp. 1U8 & 109 (female only). 



The female of Tmelicint carpenfen, Camb., is a rather large 

 (xajnple of P. hardii. The specimni is cuiiously piebald — 

 due, I think, to the uneven solution of the abdominal pigment 

 in spirit. Ho mention is made of this in the description, and 

 it has probably taken place during the long period in which 

 the specimen has been iu this fluid ; otherwise the specimen 

 is typical enough. 



Macraryus carpenterii, Camb. 

 Tmeticus carpenterii, Camb. luc. cit. (male only). 



The male of this species is a very puzzling animal. I 

 believe it to be an abnormal specimen of the common M. rufu?, 

 AVid., but cannot deny that there are difierences difficult to 

 account for by any theory of maldevelopment. If these prove 

 constant, the species might be considered good, though nearly 

 related to M. rufus. No further examples have yet occurred. 



There are a number of little differences, and sooner or later 

 I hope to publish figures illustrating them. 



Small or stunted-looking examples of J/, rufns should be 

 carefully preserved for reference by collectors. The best 

 differences are in the palpal oi'gans. These are the same on 

 both sides in tiie ty))e, but a series of the species should be 

 obtained before more can be said. Meanwhile, the name is 

 Lest left on the British lis^ It can only, however, be con- 

 sidered as a doubtful species.

I examined a j air of accredited C. lucida, Camb., kindly

 but about which there seems to be some ambiguity. The
