of S. ScMcedtei. — S. tcenaria was, according to SchiSdte, found in the 

 Adelsberg- and Magdalena-caverns in Krain, not in the island of 

 Lesina, as Simon (loc. cit. , p. 242) assumes. 



Additions and Corrections. 



Pag. 3. Epeira angulata (Cleeck); — pag. 492. E. angidata 

 Blackw. — I have sent a full-grown Swedish female specimen of E. 

 angulata (Clerck) to Mr Cambridge, who 'feels no doubt whatever, 

 that it is specifically identical with the English E. angulata Blackw'. 



On pag. 5, line 13 ought to be effaced, for At. angulata Sdlz. is 

 by no means, as C. Koch states, the same species as E. patagiata 

 (Clerck), but is either identical with E. angulata (Clerck) or with 

 E. regia C. Koch, a fact, of which I have been able to convince 

 myself since I have succeeded in obtaining a copy of Sulzer's 'Ge- 

 schichte der Insekten'. 



Pag. 4. E. Nordmanni Thor. — In the only male of E. Nord- 

 manni that I possess, the humeral protuberances of the abdomen are 

 not nearly so large as in the female, scarcely larger than in E. dia- 

 demata; the bulbus has at its apex a long and stout spine directed 

 downwards, which is obliquely bent outwards so as to form an al- 

 most J-shaped curve, of a red or brownish colour, slightly dilated at 

 the slender extremity and very obliquely truncated. In another male, 

 which in the position of the eyes , the colour of the sternum and the 

 form of the tibiae of the 2:nd pair agrees with E. Nordmanni cf , 

 but yet appears to be different from it, the above-mentioned long 

 and stout spine, that hangs down at the apex of the bulbus, is still 

 longer, bent outward spirally or someivhat in the form of an S, bright 

 black, and tapering pretty uniformly towards the apex. The much ill— 

 crassated tibiae of the 2:nd pair taper somewhat towards the base and 

 apex; the coxae of the 2:nd pair have a conical spine of about the 

 same length as the spine on the coxae of the l:st pair; the humeral 

 protuberances are small and indistinct. The colour is particularly 

 dark: the cephalothorax, above, is blackish brown, with the pars ce- 

 phalica somewhat paler, the legs blackish brown, the tibiae and me- 

 tatarsi with a broad pale ring at the base and another narrower, 

 more or less distinct similar ring in the middle; the tarsi are pale 

 at the base. The sternum is blackish brown, without any light
