referred to of the present spider was from this latter locality ; 
at any rate the example found by Mr. Dale settles the ques- 
tion of its being a British spider. So far as I am aware, it is 
not yet known on the continent. It cannot be mistaken for 
any, as yet known, British species of Drassus ; its black abdo- 
men marked with six pale spots clothed with white hairs on 
the upperside, and its yellow legs, the femora of the first two 
pairs being black, render it a very striking and distinct- 
looking spider. Between the four anterior white spots on the 
abdomen is a large, oblong-oval, shining, deep-brown-black 
patch.

When this spider was described under the last-mentioned 
name I had not had an opportunity of examining the female 
of C. cerulescens, L. K.; [have now no doubt of the identity 
of these two spiders. A second British example of the female 
was found at Bloxworth several years ago, and overlooked for 
the time among a number of others of the same genus.

The only British examples of this spider yet recorded were 
found in Lancashire and in Scotland; lately, in September 
1877, one was found on Bloxworth Heath, by my son Robert 
Jocelyn.

This is the spider to which is attributed the little white 
pear-shaped egg-cocoons attached to grass-stems, rushes, and 
other portions of low herbage, and frequently found in nume- 
rous localities. It is probable, however, that (in the south of 
England, at all events) the greater number of these are formed 
by an-allied species, A. proaima, Cambr., this last species 
being an abundant one, while A. drunneais very rare. During 
many years I have never found more than three or four ex-
