as its anterior end is from the root of the pectoral ; pectoral fin not 

 so long as the head, one fourth longer than broad at its extremity, 

 which is scarcely emarginate ; its lower edge equals about half the 

 length of its upper j base of second dorsal hardly above half the ex- 

 tent of that of the first dorsal, it is above the anal and about as large 

 as it ; upper edge of caudal straight ; its length is slightly more than 

 that of the interval between its origin and the base of the ventral. 

 Colours : greyish above, white below ; the upper half of the anterior 

 two thirds of the second dorsal is deep black. 

 Habitat. One specimen, 15 inches in length, taken at Palliport, near

Gil some new Species of European Spiders. 

 By the Eev. O. P. Cambridge, M.A. 



(Plates XIV. & XV.) 



[Eead May 1, 1873.] 



The twelve spiders comprised in the following descriptions have 

 been found almost at the extremities of Europe ; two are from 

 near Aberdeen, in Scotland, four from Corfu, two from the south 

 of France, one from near Naples, one from Ischl, one from Bruek- 

 am-Main, in Austria, and one from Switzerland. They belong to 

 eleven genera, some of them widely distant from each other. 

 Sketches are added, either of the whole or of portions of each 

 species, from which it is hoped that the often minute, but gene- 

 rally satisfactory, distinctive characteristics of each species may 

 be more easily perceived than from descriptions alone. The 

 figures are not drawn to any particular scale ; but a line is in each 

 case added showing the natural length of the spider independently 

 of its legs.
