and a comparison with the type of Yysticus pallidus, Bl., and 
examples of X. horticola, C. Koch (the latter received from 
Dr. L. Koch), I feel no doubt whatever that these three 
species are identical. The form of the projections at the outer 
extremity of the radial joint of the male palpus is very stri- 
king, and presents a curiously differing appearance from every 
fresh point of view. This has, no doubt, in great measure, led 
to the mistaking of the different individuals for different species. 
X. pallidus is simply the pale (and only slightly spotted) 
variety. Dr. L. Koch agrees with me in considering the 
three spiders mentioned above to be of one species; but Dr. 
Thorell still doubts the identity of 7. versutus, Bl., and X. 
horticola, C. Koch.

Several examples of the adult male of this spider were 
received in September 1877 from Mr. C. W. Dale, by whom 
they were found at Lulworth, Dorset. It had previously only 
been found at Bloxworth. It appears to have been also found 
recently in several localities in France. (See Oxyptila sane- 
twarta, K. Simon, ‘ Arachnides de France,’ vol. ii. p. 217.)

An immature female and male of this rare and pretty spider 
were received, in September 1877, from Mr. C. W. Dale, by 
whom they were found near Wareham, Dorset. 
Genus PutLopromus, Walck.

In its general form and structure this spider resembles P. 
aureolus, Clk. The cephalothorax is of a dull brownish- 
yellow colour, marked on the sides (and on the upper part 
of the caput, between the eyes) with rather reddish brown, 
chiefly following the direction of the normal indentations ; the 
ocular region has a few strong bristly hairs upon it. 
The eyes are placed on slight tubercles, in the form of 
a crescent; they are small and differ very little in size. 
The interval between those of the hind central pair is greater
