GREAT LONG-LEGGED SPIDER, 
and belly part ; for the whole body appears to 
be nearly round, and marked with ten spots 
about the edges. The feelers are siPiali at the 
root, and become gradually thick to the ends.

Spider, which may be discovered by a micro- 
scope. One is, the curious contrivance of the 
eyes, v^hich are only two, and placed on the 
top of a small pillar or hillock, rising out of the 
middle on the top of it's back, or rather the 
crown of it's head ; for they are placed on the 
very top of this pillar, back to back, with 
transparent pupils looking towards each side, 
but somewhat more forwards than backwards. 
They have a smooth and protuberant horny 
coat ; and, in the midst of it, the very black 
pupil is seated, being surrounded with a sort of 
a grey iris, and the pillar, or head and neck, 
seems to be covered with a crusty shell. These 
eyes do not appear to have knobs, or pearls^ like 
those of other inse6ls. The other peculiarity 
is the prodigious length of it's legs, in propoi- 
tion to it's body; which are jointed exa6lly 
like those of a Crab, and terminated by a small 
case, or shell, fastened to the body in a very 
wonderful manner^ and which include a very
