The eyes are of moderate size, and occupy the whole width of 

 the fore part of the caput. The interval between those of the 

 hind-central pair is scarcely an eye's diameter, while that which 

 separates each of them from the lateral eye next to it is less ; 

 those of the fore-central pair are nearly, if not quite, contiguous to 

 each other. The ocular area is but slightly prominent ; and the 

 height of the clypeus is considerably less than half that of the 

 facial space. 



The legs are tolerably long, slender, 1.4.2.3, and of a pale 

 yellow-brown colour. They are furnished with hairs, and have 

 a long slender spine on each of che genual joints, with two 

 others in a longitudinal line on the upper side of each of the 

 tibiso. 



The palpi are short, and similar to the legs in colour. The radial 

 is stronger than the cubital joint, and is a little spreading at its 

 extremity. The cubital has a short fine bristle directed forwards 

 from its fore part. The digital joint is small with a lobe on its 

 outer side. The palpal organs are rather complex, and have a 

 strongish, and rather long, curved process projecting down- 

 wards near their outer side. 



The falces are moderately long, rather weak, straight, and a 

 little directed backwards. Their colour is like that of the 

 cephalo-thorax. 



The sternum is of a short heart-shape, considerably convex, and 

 of a dark blackish-brown hue. 



The abdomen is small and oviform ; its colour is black, freckled 

 with minute yellow-brown points, probably not discernible 

 excopt when in spirit of wine. The hinder part, on the upper 

 side, shews a series of some rather conspicuous transverse folds 

 in the integument. Two others, corresponding to tho ordinary 

 transverse curved or angular lines, even more conspicuous, are 

 also visible underneath, a little way from the spinners. The 

 significance of these folds has been before remarked upon. 



A single example of this spider was found among dead leaves 

 at Warmwell, near Dorchester, in the spring of 1875, by my 

 nephew, Frederick 0. P. Cambridge.
