stripes on the hinder half ; the normal marking on the fore part 

 of the upper side is bordered by a black line, obtuse at its

TROCHOSA CINEREA. 



Aranea cinehea, Fair., Ent. Syst., ii., p. 423. 



,, allodroma, Walch., Blackw., I.e., p. 23, pi. i., fig. 7. 



Length of the male from 6 to nearly 8 lines, female rather 

 larger. 



This fine spider is nearly allied to Trochosa picta, Hahn. (p, 358), 

 and has much the appearance of a very large, pale, indistinctly 

 marked, grey, or washed out, example of that species. The mark- 

 ings (especially of the cephalo-thorax) are much obscured by yel- 

 lowish-grey pubescence, and the legs aro very hairy. The radial 

 joints of the palpi are longer than the cubital, but of the same 

 length as the digital ; the last being scarcely broader than the 

 radial. Palpal organs small, not very complex, and confined to 

 a small concavity beneath the base of the digital joint. The large 

 size of this spider will easily prevent its being mistaken for any 

 other British species. 



Found in the North of England, Scotland, and in North 

 "Wales, among stones on the margins of rivers, and in the dry 

 beds of water courses. 



GENUS LYCOSA, Latr. 



LYCOSA TRAILLII. 



Lycosa traillii, Cambr., Trans. Linn. Soc. xxviii., p. 524, pi. 

 xlvi., fig. 1. 



Length of tho male 3 lines, of the female nearly 4. 



In general form and appearance this spider more nearly 

 resembles Lycosa amentata, Clk. (p. 370) than any other of our 

 indigenous species.
