from the Rev. F. 0. P. Cambridge, by whom they were found in an 

 old building at Hyde, near Bloxworth. The Dover examples have 

 been examined and verified by M. Simon. I have also received it 

 from Mr. C. G. Bignell, found near Plymouth.

Length Ifrds of a line. 



Cephalothorax dark brown tinged with olive. 



Palpi rich deep brown tinged with red, bulb of pincers deepest, 

 and claws clearer red ; falces and legs pale yellowish-brown ; 

 abdominal plates yellowish-brown, divided by a longitudinal line. 

 The hairs on the legs short, mostly fine, and simple ; those on the 

 cephalothorax, the palpi (except the claws), and on the abdomen are 

 short and obtuse, but not claviform. The surface of the 

 cephalothorax, abdomen, and palpi is thickly and finely granulose. 

 The claws of the pincers are curved and equal in length to the 

 bulb, and the humeral joint is a little longer than the cubital. The 

 anterior transverse indentation of the cephalothorax is, as nearly 

 as possible, midway between the fore and hinder extremity. 



The eyes are of good size, round, and placed at somewhat more 

 than a diameter's distance from the fore margin of the caput. 



This species is nearly allied to C. cancroides, but may be 

 distinguished by the non-clavate hairs on the palpi and abdomen, 

 the less size, and strength of the pincers, and its brighter, more 

 varied colours ; the form of the bulb also differs, being of a much 

 broader, more oval shape. I have received this species from Mr. C. 

 W. Dale, Glanvilles Wootton ; also from Mr. E. A. Butler, Hastings ; 

 from Mr. Matthews, Sandwich and Deal ; as well as from near Ber- 

 wick on-Tweed ; from Mr. J. E. Mason, Alford, Lincolnshire ; and
