27*2 FAUNA OF NEW ZEALAND. 



apparently longer than the second, the third very short. Length 

 of a shrivelled-up male from end of body to end of chelicera 6 lines. 

 I have named this spider after one, many of whose drawings 

 and descriptions seem to me to have been copied by Eleazar Albin, 

 in his ' Natural History of Spiders,' published in 1736. Bradley, 

 in his ' Philosophical Account of the Works of Nature ' (1721), 

 refers to "the curious Mr. Dandridge, of Moorfields," as having 

 " observed and delineated " " a hundred and forty different kinds " 

 of spiders "in England alone" (pp. 130 and 131). The Baron 

 Walckenaer> in his elaborate list of arachnologists (Apteres, i., 

 pp. 24-29), has not included Dandridge, though, had he been 

 aware of his labours, he would doubtless have given him a distin- 

 guished place amongst his " Apteristes iconographes, descripteurs 

 et collecteurs." I have formed a new subgenus for this spider, 

 which, with the Tetragnatha (Anetognatha) bicolor of Tasmania 

 (Annals and Mag. of Nat. Hist., vii., p. 475), will form two sec- 

 tions of this family. 



" Aranea calycina" 



Mr. Polack (New Zealand, i , p. 321) says that in New Zea- 

 land " the innumerable spider-webs (aranea calycina) have the 

 resemblance, when the morning sun shines on them, loaded with 

 the dew of the preceding night, of so many hyads or watery stars." 



" Spiders are found in vast abundance amongst the fern."
