apophysis, which differs from that of the spider mentioned, in 

 bavin"- a longer and stronger crescent-shaped projection. The 

 outer, or anterior, member of the cresent is much longer, stronger, 

 and of a darker colour than the inner one, and is less pointed at 

 jts extremity, than that of C. terrestris ; the palpal organs have also 

 a strong corneous dark red-brown spine connected with them ; this 

 spine issues from near their base on the outer sido, passes obliquely 

 over them to the inner sido, and so beneath and round their 

 extremity, coming up again on the outer side and ending in a 

 sharp prominent point in contact with some semi-transparent 

 membrane. The falces aro longer than those of C. terrestris. 

 Cluhiona lutescens is a rare species on bushes and trees in woods at 

 Bloxworth and in the neighbourhood, in tho summer time. I 

 have also received it from Glanvilles Wootton, from Mr. C. "W. 

 Dale, and it has been found in some other parts of England. 



CEUBIONA NEGLECTA. 



Clubiona neglecta, Cambr., Zoologist 1862, p. 7955. 



This spider is also very like Cluhiona terrestris ; and tho male 

 measures a little less than 3 lines in length. It may be dis- 

 tinguished without difficulty both from C. terrestris and other 

 species very similar to it in general appearance, by the form of 

 the radial apophysis, which has two members corresponding to 

 those of C. lutescens, but the upper one is much shorter. The palpal 

 organs have along, slender,filiforin, darkred-brown spine connected 

 with them, quite difforent from any other species of the genus. 

 This spine is remarkable from its tortuous course ; it issues from 

 tho inner side of the palpal organs, curves round their extremity 

 on the edge of the digital joint, and thence running back on tho 

 outer side, curves round again, and so up over tho middlo of the 

 palpal organs, terminating in a very fine sharp curved point 

 directed backwards close to their most prominent part. 



Very rare, in similar situations at Bloxworth, and at the same 

 season as C. lutescens. This species has not yet been found in 

 any other part of England, but is met with in Germany as well 

 as in France.
