others, seems to occupy a position intermediate between wyops 

 on the one hand, with its high clypeus, and Meadii on the 

 other, with its larger eyes, more closely situate. 



The caput is broader and more bluffly rounded than in 

 errans and Meadii, while from the former it may be further 

 distinguished by its rather smaller eyes and higher clj'peus, 

 from the latter by these characters and the absence of a meta- 

 tarsal spine. 



It is much larger than ohlongum, Cb. ; its eyes are larger and 

 closer together, and though the form of the caput is some- 

 what similar, yet the clypeus is much higher when compared 

 with the ocular area than in that species. 



Received from F. M. Campbell, Esq., August 1892, 

 amongst a number of specimens of ohlongum, errans, and 

 Meadii taken at Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, running on iron 

 railings in the sunshine, in March and April 1883.

I am unable to recognize any sound distinguishing cha- 

 racter which may separate this male specimen from P. Meadii. 

 The apparent smallness of the eyes and their apparent greater 

 distance apart are to my mind fully accounted for by the 

 absence of pigment. 



The palpal organs are similar to those of Meadii (see 

 PI. II. tig. 2 a). 



A single adult male, the type specimen, which was kindly 

 forwarded for my inspection by the llev. O. Pickard Cambridge, 

 was taken in Dorset in 1862. 



Porrhomma microphthalmum, Cb. (PI. II. fig. 7 a.) 



This specimen also seems to me identical with Miadii. 

 The palpal organs are precisely similar. The eyes, iiaving 

 lost a large proportion of the pigment-cells, aj)pear smaller 

 and wider apart (very slightly), but are not, [ believe, really 

 so. The sj)incs on the legs, being lost, furnish no clue as to 

 its identity. 



A single adult male, the type specimen, wa.< t'oi warded for 

 my inspection by the Ivov. O. I^. Cambridge. 'J'nken by the 

 late Mr. Beck near London many years ago.
