Chiracanthium nutrix, Walck. Auguste Forel, Bull. Soc. Yaud. xiv. 
pp. 30-32, states that he has, from personal experience, proved the 
venomous nature of the bite of this spider. The effects are general 
indisposition, cold sweat, and an inability to walk, for some minutes, 
without help ; these symptoms soon subside, but the wound continues 
painful for some days.

Agroecabrunnea,Bla.ckw. A. W. M. van Hasselt, in Tijdschr. Ent. xix, 
pp. 28-42, speaking of the pear-shaped nest formed by this spider, comes 
to the conclusion that there are two or more species of Agrceca con-^ 
structiug somewhat similar nests, but differing in size ; and that the 
outer covering of clay may be a specific character. [Of. Arch. Neerl.
