Pag. 228. Sparassus omatus Westr. — I have lately had an 

 opportunity of examining two adult males of Micrommata ornata,

 in the sexual organs, from M. virescens (Clerck) or Sparassus sma- 

 ragdulus Blackw. ; I am therefore very much inclined to consider this 

 spider as a variety only of M. virescens. Cambridge ') is of the same

Prof. Wahlgren has lately sent me males and females of Th. 

 lanio Westr. or Xyst. impavidus Thor. captured at the same locality 

 in Skane, so that I cannot have the least doubt about Th. lanio

 female is not identical with the true Thom. Cambridgii Blackw., of 

 which therefore the male is as yet unknown. — Mr Cambridge tells

 colours etc. from the type (¥) of Th. Cambridgii, besides being much
