eyes are the lateral pits. The upper middle eyes are on the front 

 and nearly at the top of the hump, the lower middle eyes half way 

 between them and the mandibles. The lateral eyes are wide apart, 

 just outside the lateral grooves, each pair on a slight elevation. 

 The hairs between the eyes are long and pointed outward. The 

 male palpi have the patella nearly twice as long as wide. The 

 tibia is very much widened toward the tarsus and partly covers it 

 on the upper side, where it has a large sickle-shaped hook turned 

 outward. The tarsal hook is Hat and broad, with a small notch. 

 The tarsus is short and rounded and the parts of the palpal organ 

 small, with a short tube curved around the end. 



A single freshly molted female has the head slightly elevated 

 behind the eyes, and the middle eyes as far from the front pair as 

 they are from each other. The epigynum is very far forward, and 

 has two pointed lobes directed backward and close together with 

 only a narrow groove between them.

Lophocarenum abruptum, new. (Plate III, figures 5 to 5c.) 



A male a little over 2 mm. long from under leaves on Mt. Holy- 

 oke, Mass., June 20. The cephalothorax is depressed in the middle, 

 and the head rises abruptly, carrying the upper middle eyes on the 

 front and upper side. Just above the lateral eyes are wide grooves, 

 with a small round pit a little farther back than the lateral eyes. 

 Between the upper and lower middle eyes are a few fine hairs 

 turned toward the sides. Below the front middle eyes the head 

 projects forward over the mandibles. The tarsus of the male palpus 

 is about half as long as the patella and widened toward the tarsus, 

 and has on the upper side two processes directed forward, the inner 

 one twice as long as the outer and as long as the body of the 

 tibia. The tarsus is rounded and the palpal organ large and thick 

 from above downward. The tube is small and coiled in one turn 

 on the outer side. The colors in this individual arc pale, the ab- 

 domen darkest. 



Lophocarenum quadricristatum. (Plate III, figures 4, 4a.) 



This has been found again on the summit of Mt. Washington in 

 August, 1906. The female has in a less degree the same peculiar 

 arrangement of the eyes as the male. The middle pairs are un- 

 usually far apart, and the lateral pairs have the front eye one and
