fome, a brownifh facula, which proje6led towards the thorax, was vifible in the male ; which 
in the female could only be obferved in a very few. The arms of the male have four or five 
prickles, and fexual organs, fimilar to thofe exhibited at A. The arms of the female are 
cylindric, hairy, and without prickles. The holders are hairy, perpendicular, and black. 
The follicles of eggs are orbicular and flattifii, whitifii above, and black below 5 they are alfo 
edged on the upper part with a lucid line or future. See Fauna Suecica. n, 1219. 
SPECIES VIII. — A. Amentatus. 
LOOPED-SPIDER. 
After the middle of June, this fpecies, plate 4, fig. 10, was common, in dry or bare 
places : towards the end of the month the females carried their bags of eggs about with 
them. 
The eyes and legs of thefe are altogether like thofe of the two fpecies juft defcribed. The 
thorax is blackifh, ovate, flender, and flightly carinated towards the fore-part, broader and 
flattifii towards the hind-part. A brownifli facula, like a ligament, appears on it, which is 
fomewhat brighter towards the abdomen, and more dufky in the middle : the thorax on the 
other parts is fprinkled with thin and fcarce vifible down. The abdomen blackifli, all over 
hairy : that of the male is marked in the middle by a flender brownifli facula j that of the 
female has no fuch mark, but is diftinguilhed by a fafciculus of whitifti hair in a black bafe 
towards the thorax. The arms are hairy. The holders dark and perpendicular. The bag 
of eggs is duiky beneath, whitifti above, and of a flattifh orbicular ftiape. Whenever the 
females, in paffing through any narrow place unawares, find their bag of eggs pulled away 
from them, they dread no danger, but immediately endeavour to recover it, and when they 
have got it, they carry it into the neareft convenient recefs, and replace it, as tightly as before, 
beneath the abdomen towards the thorax, fo as to be conveniently carried 5 which done, they 
again refume their journey.
