A. Epeira stellata upon a rush (Juncus bufonius), natural size; from a specimen given by 

 H. W. Britcher. When this spider rests with its legs folded, its resemblance to a seed pod of the 

 rush is very close. B. Ariamnes attenuata, which resembles a stick. [From G. W. and E. G. 

 I'KCKHAM, after CAMBRIDGE.] C. A spider which resembles a seed pod, natural size. D and 

 E. C&rostris mitralis, which resembles a knot on a twig (magnified). [From G. W. and E. G. 

 PECKHAM, after VINSON.] F. Epeira prompta on a lichen-covered branch. [After G. W. and 

 E. G. PECKHAM.] G. Uloborus plumipes, with its cocoon in its web on a twig of larch. [After 

 G. W. and E. G. PECKHAM.]
