 Blackw. — The spider which Mesge') calls Agalena brunea, and to 

 which he refers A. brunnea Blackw.. is quite a different species, and 

 does not even belong to Agrarca Westr., but is a genuine Agalena 

 (Walck.), Thob. It is perhaps identical with the to me unknown 

 Agalena gracihns C. Koch 1 ), which Mesge also cites, unless this lat- 

 ter should be the same as A. simili* Keyserl., as I have above, p. 

 160, surmised. — The cocoons which Mesge loc. cit. describes and 

 figures as belonging to his A gal. bruruta, have most certainly not 

 been fabricated by that spider, but belong to an Agrceca, and probably 

 either to .4. brunnea (Blackw.) or to A. Haglundii Thob. — The 'English 

 species' of Agrceca mentioned by me, p. 163, as different both from 

 A. brunnea and A. Haglundii, is = Agr. (Agel.) proxima (Camf.b.) 

 1871 (Descr. of some Brit. Spid., etc., in Transact, of the Linn. Soc, 

 XXVII, p. 415, PI. 54, no. 13). 



Mesge is of opinion, that we ought to write bruneua and not 

 bmnneus, because this word is derived from "the old high-German 

 prun, Anglos, brun and the root brinan. But as the word occurs 

 in, one may say, innumerable zoologicals works under the form 

 bmnneus, and has under that special form gained an acknowledged 

 place in the language of Natural History — (whence it of course 

 ought in strict accuracy, together with the equally unclassical word
