connect in front with a large white patch extending backward in 

 the middle nearly as far as the dorsal eyes. The abdomen is 

 marked with a front white band and five or six pairs of white 

 spots extending forward on their inner corners. The legs are ringed 

 with white at the ends of the joints. In alcohol the white dis- 

 appears and the abdomen appears marked with a series of black 

 spots on a light ground. The first legs are 5.5 mm. long, with the 

 tibia a little thickened. The palpus of the male differs but little 

 from that of capitatus and jlavipedes. The bulb is wide at the 

 base and more nearly square than in capitatus. The tube resemb- 

 les that of flavipcdes in having a long process parallel to it, but 

 both are curved in a half circle, fig. 3. 



Two males were found in the moss near Spalding's Spring on 

 the Mt. Washington range at a height of 5000 ft., July 6, 1904, 

 and a female at the same, place, July 4, 1907. 



A female found in the same locality several years later is 7 mm. 

 long and dark brown with light gray hairs without any distinct 

 white or yellow marks. In alcohol the abdomen shows indistinctly 

 light marks similar to those at militaris. The epigynum has the 

 notch shallow and truncate and the two openings a little farther 

 apart and more angular than in militaris.

 ligures 4, 4 a.) 

 The males do not differ from the females as much as in capitatus 

 and militaris. My specimens are 4 mm. in length. The cephalo- 

 thorax is light brown as in female capitatus, with white longitudinal 

 bands at the sides below the eyes widening behind. The abdomen 

 has the dark middle area broken by three pairs of spots in the 

 front half and three or four light chevrons behind. The dark area 

 is less sharply defined than in the male capitatus and connects with 

 several oblique rows of dark spots. The legs are not ringed as in 

 the other species lint pale and translucent with longitudinal dark 

 lines on the inner side. One of the the males 'from Portland, Me., 

 and others from Fitzwilliam, N. H., are light gray, almost as light 

 as Drassus saccatus without any distinct markings on the. back, but 

 with fine distinct longitudinal black stripes on the legs. The male 

 palpi are a little darker than the legs and the tarsi and the palpal 

 organs resemble those of D. capitatus, except that the tip of the 

 palpal organ is double, the tube having a slightly curved process 

 longer than itself parallel with it on the outer side. The process
