resemblance, both in colour and structure. From the first of 

 the above-named spiders it differs in the much narrower radial 

 joint of the male palpus, resembling it, however, in having a 

 small tooth-like spine beneath that joint; this spine also at once 

 distinguishes it from the two latter species. 



Found in Scotland, North Wales, Yorkshire, and near 

 Brighton. 



NEEIENE PASCALIS. 



Neriene pasoalis, Cambr., Trans. Linn. Soc. xxviii., p. 542, pi. 

 46, fig. 12. 



Adult male, length 1 line. 



The cephalo-thorax much resembles in form that of Neriene 

 lonqvpalpis Sund. (p. 107). 



Eyes of fore-central pair as large as those of the hind-central. 



Legs not very long, 1.4.2.3; moderately strong. 



The whole of the fore-part of this spider is of a dull, greenish 

 yellow-brown hue. The abdomen sooty black and glossy. Eadial 

 joint of palpus much stronger than the cubital, and equally pro- 

 duced both before and behind, being bluntish pointed at its 

 upper fore extremity, and its outer margin strongly emarginate. 

 Digital joint large, oblong-oval, equal in length to (or exceeds) 

 tho humeral joint. Palpal organs not very complex. 



Found near Dunkeld, Scotland. 



NERIENE TIBIALIS. 



Neriene tibialis, Blackw., I.e., p. 266. 



Length of the male 1 line. 



This spider is closely allied to Neriene nigra Blackw. (p. 109). 

 and closely resembles it both in colours, form, and general 

 structure. It may, however, be distinguished readily by the 

 strong and very conspicuous incrassation of the tibise of the first 

 pair of legs. 



Found in North Wales, under stones, in March ; and also on 

 the Cheviot Hills, Scotland.
