and one that I propose to call Lycosa nigropunciata, was also 

 collected by Captain Vv^hite. This is one of those Lycosids^ 

 the females of which make a lid or trap-door to their burrows. 

 Finally, I record a new genus and species of the family 

 Oxiiopidcie , for which I propose the name Pseudohostus 

 squamosus, and to the notes upon this I refer the student. In 

 the following pages there are enumerated two scorpions and 

 twenty-nine spiders, and of these latter eleven are recorded 

 as new, whilst one is the description of what I take to be the 

 male of a previously known species — viz., Echetnus griseus, L. 

 Koch. Two new subfamilies and two new genera are also 

 defined. 



Some of the material obtained by Captain White was too 

 immature to be of value, but this is always so in collections 

 of this branch of the fauna, and some were damaged. This 

 latter contingency, as pointed out by Dr. Pulleine in his paper 

 already referred to, could not possibly be avoided, owing to 

 the softness of the animals' bodies, the roughness of the country 

 over which they had to be conveyed, and the manner of their 

 transport.

Xofe. — Karsh 's paper is inaccessible to me, but Keserling 

 gives ;i lengthy description and a figure in his supplement to 

 Ludwig Koch's monumental work. Unfortunately the latter 

 author's specimen (which is in the collection of the University 

 of Berlin, and is vaguely labelled "Australie") was damaged, 

 for the writer says : — -"Sturnum und Kamme fehlen leider 

 dem vorliegenden Exemplare." Consequently I must let 

 Captain White's specimen (of which only one example was 

 taken) remain for the present as quoted above. /. vescus is 

 the type of the genus.
