REV. O. P. CAMBRIDGE ON NEW BRITISH SPIDERS. 397 
the fore and upper part of the cephalothorax is furnished with fine, longish, prominent 
hairs. | 
Eyes in normal position; the four hinder ones form a square whose hinder side is 
broader than its fore side; the other four form a transverse line below and in front of the 
rest; the two central eyes of this line are larger than the laterals, and are further from 
each other than each is from the lateral eye on its side. 
. Legs moderately long, strong; their relative length is 4, 1, 2, 3; they are furnished 
tolerably thickly with longish slender prominent hairs, and some longish but not very 
strong black spines; the colour of the legs is brownish yellow, the tibiæ and metatarsi of 
the first two pairs (especially of the first) being strongly suffused with deep brown tinged 
with reddish. 
Palpi moderately long, strong, hairy, similar in colour to the legs; the radial joint is 
considerably longer than the cubital, and curved; the digital joint is long and strong, of 
a pointed oval form, equal in length to the radial and cubital together; its colour is deep 
blackish brown tinged with red; the palpal organs occupy little more than half of the 
cavity of the lower side; they are well developed but simple in structure, of a deep 
reddish brown colour, and have one or two small black curved projecting corneous points 
at their fore extremity. | 
Falces long, strong, vertical, prominent near their base in front, of a deep brown colour 
tinged with red, and furnished with prominent hairs. 
Mazille yellow brown, paler at their inner extremities, strong, straight, considerably 
enlarged at the extremities, where they are rounded on their outer, and obliquely trun- 
cate on their ¿nner sides. 
Labium oblong, rounded at the apex ; its colour is dark yellow brown, the apex being 
paler. ; 
Sternum somewhat heart-shaped ; the transverse section of the fore extremity is some- 
^ what hollow, and its breadth there less than in the middle; its colour is dark yellow- 
brown, with a faint longitudinal central line on its fore half. 
Abdomen oval, roundly truncate before, and bluffish behind, where it is broader than 
in front; it is clothed with prominent fine hairs; its colour is dark yellow-brown mottled 
obscurely with yellowish. The fore part of the upperside has the normal fusiform band, 
which is not very large, but of a clear brownish yellow colour, very slightly enlarged late- 
rally about its middle, and pointed at its hinder extremity, nearly parallel with which on 
either side is a conspicuous bright bluish-silvery dot, followed by several others at inter- 
vals towards the spinners, forming two parallel rows ; of these dots four are more conspi- 
diately succeeding the fusiform band ; 
cuous than the rest, and form nearly a square imme rm. bi 
between this square and the spinners are some obscure transverse curved yellowish lines : 
the sides of the abdomen are more or less clothed with bluish-silvery bright hairs, which, 
concentrating forwards, form a conspicuous short white band on either side of the fore 
extremity. An adult male of this fine and handsome species (which appears to be new 
to science) was forwarded to me by the Hon. Thomas de Grey (of Merton n. near 
"Thetford, Norfolk), by whom it was captured in that neighbourhood, in June 1869, and 
in compliment to whom I have conferred upon it its specific name. It is allied to L. pis-
