On a new Spider from Bounty Island. G5 



in August to fertilize artificially, but failed each time, chiefly, 

 I believe, on account of the immaturity of the spermatozoa. 



In the stomach of Depastrum I have noted the remains of 

 a small crustacean (probably a Copepod). When kept in 

 confinement unattached to a stone they sometimes void a 

 floccular mass, along with one or two phacellge, which looks 

 like a portion of the stomach epithelium. The tentacles also 

 are apt to slough off. It is very difficult to kill them well 

 expanded, but I have obtained good results by carefully 

 narcotizing with 30 °L alcohol. 



VI. — On a new Genus of Spiders from Bounty Island, ivith 

 Remarks on a Species from New Zealand. By H. R. 

 Hogg, M.A., F.Z.S. 



Professor Charles Chilton, of Canterbury College, 

 Christchurch, New Zealand, kindly sent me recently soma 

 spiders obtained by Mr. L. Cockayne from the islands lyino- 

 to the east and south-east of the New Zealand coast. Araony 

 these were some specimens found on the guano deposits of 

 Bounty Island, situated about 9 degrees east of Dunedin 

 (170° 3CK East longitude), between the better-known Anti- 

 podes and Chatham Islands. 



The spiders belong to the family Agalenidse, and the well- 

 developed colulus, front spinnerets close together, inner 

 margin of the falx-sheath toothed and sloping, with fringe 

 of incurved bristles on the outer, the upright maxillae, and 

 square lip show them to belong to M. Simon's group Cybasea?. 

 Allied to the genus Emmenomma, Sim.*, this species differs 

 too materially to be included therein, so that 1 have formed a 

 new genus to receive it. 



Pacificana, gen. no v. 



Differs from Emmenomma in having the cephalic part of 

 the cephalothorax convex and wide in front instead of not 

 convex and slightly attenuate. The thoracic fovea quite 

 short and shallow instead of long and deep. Rear row of 

 eyes so recurved as to form an area as long as broad instead 

 of about one half as long as broad. Two teeth on inferior 



* The single species for which M. Simon formed his genus Emme- 

 nomma was found on the islands adjacent to Cape Horn (about 67° W. 

 long.). The two localities are therefore separated by over 120 degrees of 

 longitude.
