The female whose dimensions are given above, though imma- 

 ture was of much larger growth than that described in .the 

 ' History of the Spiders of Great Britain and Ireland,' from which 

 it differs in several particulars. Its legs are long, and provided 

 with hairs and spines; the fourth pair is the longest, the first 

 pair slightly surpasses the second, and the third pair is the 

 shortest. A broad, yeUowish-brown band, which tapers to the 

 spinners, and has brownish-black lateral margins, extends along 

 the middle of the upper part of the abdomen, the design, so con- 

 spicuous on the abdomen of very young individuals, being almost 

 obliterated ; and the sides are strongly marked with brown The 

 predominant colour of the cephalothorax is browner than in 

 much younger specimens, and the medial band is much less 



distinct. 



Though I have had opportunities of examining numerous im- 

 mature specimens of this species, yet it is remarkable that I have 

 not detected a single male among them.
