XXXI 



name of Atypus Sulzeri (Latr.) for the species which Sulzer had named 

 Aranea jncea in 1776, and which Tborell gives as synonymous with — 

 Atypus 2nceus, Thor., 1870, 



„ „ Ausserer, 1871, and 



„ Sulzeri, Koch, 1848. 



" M. Eugene Simon, in his memoir on the French species of the 

 genus Atypus (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., 5e ser., tome iii., 1873, p. 109j, reverts 

 to the original specific name of A. jncens (Sulzer], as entitled to priority, 

 while repeating the synonyms as aforesaid. Thus the Hampstead species, 

 which is said to be certainly iiot the A. Sulzeri, but possibly the A. Beckii 

 (Cambridge), and probably the same as A. piceus (Tborellj, would, in such 

 case, be synonymous with Sulzer's species, which is the Atypus Sulzeri of 

 Latreille (1806), of Koch (1848), and of Thorell (187:3), and the Atypus 

 piceus of M. Eugene Simon (1873)." 



Mr. F. Enock exhibited the male and female of this spider, taken at 

 Hampstead on October •24th, 1877, and read extracts from a letter from 

 the Rev. 0. P. -Cambridge, to the effect that the male specimens afterwards 

 submitted to him were Atypus Sulzeri, and not A. Beckii, as at first 

 conjectured when females only had been examined. (See above paper by 

 Sir Sidney Saunders.) 



Papers read. 



Mr. C. 0. Waterhouse read a paper containing " Descriptions of new
