BRITISH ARACHNIDA. 115 



at its fore-extremity, where a small semi-circular piece appears as if 

 bitten out ; the femora of 0. agrestis are similarly cylindric. 



An example of this species (new to me) was sent to me in June, 

 1896, by Mr. J. H. Carpenter, of Dublin, as 0. epliippiger, Sim., on 

 the determination of Professor Kraepelin, of Hamburg. This 

 example, with several others, Mr. Carpenter had received from Mr. 

 W. Evans, from Edinburgh. On my calling attention to the 

 distinguishing characters of 0. ephippiger, Sim., Professor Kraepelin 

 agreed with me as to its distinctness, and has since described it as 

 new under the name Acantlioloplnis Hansenii. I have recently 

 received several examples in tine condition from Mr. Evan?, who 

 obtained them from the neighbourhood of Edinburgh last autumn.
