tibia and tarsus without tactile hairs. $ with galea poorly developed ; palps 

 (particularly femur) more robust, hand slightly broader and higher and 

 slightly shorter, fingers closing with wider gape ; coxae IV. somewhat less 

 broad at base, posterior margin longer in proportion to inner. L. 2-.3. 



Under bark of old oak-trees : Sherwood Forest ; West Wickham Common, Kent ; Richmond 

 Park, Surrey ; found iilso at Ewliurst, Surrey, under a stone in the floor of a cow-shed (Aird 

 Whyte).

Palps and cephalothorax red-brown, abdominal tergites horny-brown ; 

 dull or nearly so, with clavate and toothed bristles. Cephalothorax granulate, 

 broadly rounded m front, a little broader in middle than behind, both 

 grooves distinct ; abdominal tergites granulate, with rather strongly clavate 

 bristles, scar-spots distinct, interstitial membrane of dorsum granulate, 

 sternites with bristles mostly simple, in part weakly clavate, tergite XI. with 

 1 pair sternite XI. with 2 pairs of tactile hairs ; galea (?) rather long and 

 stout, its distal frds with small processes ; palps (fig. 7) robust, femur rising 

 almost perpendicularly from stalk with an abrupt corner, tibia ^vith moderate 

 anterio-proximal convexity, hand rising very abruptly from stalk, rather broad 

 and obliquely high, but with rather gradual descent to fingers, anterior 

 margin of fingers with a series of accessory teeth ; granulation of palp not 

 strong, evident in front and over part of upper surface, elsewhere including 

 most of hand obscured, the surface with a roughened encrusted appearance ; 

 bristles of palp of moderate length, in great part distinctly clavate ; lower face 

 of maxillae nearly smooth ; coxae IV. (?) broad, posterior margin longer than 

 inner ; legs IV. tibia without tactile hair, tactile hair of tarsus short about f 

 removed from base. S with galea a little smaller ; palps altogether more 

 robust, hand broader with greater oblique height, fingers closing with wider 

 gape ; coxae IV. widening from narrower base, posterior margin somewhat 

 more than twice as long as inner. L. 2'6. 



In old stables, cow-sheds, barns, etc., under bricks and stones in the floors, beneath accumulated 

 refuse of old hay, etc. ; iilso in old breweries,^ granaries, etc. ; widely distributed and common in 

 Britain ; probably also in Ireland, but not yet recorded ; researches of Dr. Joy showed tliis species to 

 live also in hollow trees about old nests of owls, starlings, etc. 



(64, 70, 75, 77-9, 85.) 



' An examination of Hansen's specimens, made by Mr. With, showed them to belong to the 

 present species. 



■' This animal, which h;is only recently figured in our lists, was the subject of interesting observa- 

 tions by S. J. Mclntire (21-3) puldished as long ago as 186S-1S7I ; he obtained specimens from a 

 brewery at Tlieale, and deposited one of them with the Quelcctt Microscopical Club.
