tuberance. The basal part is short and almost ovate, of a pale 

 brownish yellow, with two dark transverse bands; the shaft, which 

 is somewhat paler than the basal part, with a couple of longi- 

 tudinal brown bands, is at the base as broad as the basal part of 

 the bulbus, and divides itself into two branches, which are "sepa- 

 rated by a small notch or form an extremely obtuse angle with 

 each other; the upper part or basis of the shaft tapers downwards 

 and is scarcely longer than it is broad at the base; the longer 

 branch, which is directed inwards and forwards, is nearly of uni- 

 form breadth and straight, and about as long as the upper part or 

 basis of the shaft, wit^h which is forms an obtuse angle, and in this 

 (rounded) angle a small tooth is perceived; the apex of the branch, 

 which is unevenly and obliquely truncated, exhibits at the anterior 

 side, near the middle, two small, closely-sitting teeth (or a small pro- 

 cess cloven into two teeth?). The other branch, which is much 

 shorter and somewhat narrower, and points in an opposite direc- 

 tion, is but little longer than it is broad, curved slightly upwards, 

 and has two small teeth at the extremity, above.

As this work is in fact a continuation of the treatise I some 

 time ago published under the title, "On European Spiders, Part I", 

 some additions and corrections to that last mentioned work may 

 perhaps here not be out of place. I shall however confine myself 

 to what seems to possess a more general interest, first adding a 

 supplement to the list of arachnological litterature given by me in 

 the work referred to pp. i — xxiv, 234, 235. As in that list, so also
