a sideways gait; they are, however, harmless. Trap-door spiders 
are unlikely to be seen, although careful search reveals the closed 
lids of their burrows in the low wayside banks. In the gully 
streams, a large, blackish spider lurks beneath stones by the 
water’s edge. This Spider ( Dolomedes ins tab Ms ) , which carries 
its egg cocoon in its jaws, feeds on small fish and probably 
tadpoles, and has been known to kill fish many times its own 
weight and size. It is quite as much at home in the water as 
out of it. 
Even if it were possible to speak of the many interesting 
forms known to the specialist, many more will in time be 
discovered, as these reserves are more intensively worked.
