liandfomer, and they prefer thefe trees j though I have never found them on the pinus fylvellrus, 
or Scotch fir. The females always live under the bell, embracing the bags of eggs ; which, 
though they are bigger than themfelves, they are continually rolling about with great 
facility. 
It is difficult to determine the number of the eyes in this fpecies : of forty, which I have 
examined attentively, it appeared from one only, that the fide-eyes were joined in one cavity. 
To common infpedion, there appears to be but fix, which being contrary to analogy, is 
not probable. 
The legs are hairy, briftly, and prickly. 
The thorax ovate, flat, and thinly haired. 
The abdomen like a pepper-corn, or a fmall pea, nearly round, filky, brownifli, yellowiflt 
towards the anus, and marked above with a reddilh wedge-fliaped fpot, in a longitudinal direc- 
tion, which has a white margin, and three tranfverfe white lines on each fide. The fides are a 
little yellowifh. 
The arms are guarded with hairs of unequal length, and prickles. 
The holders are brownifli. 
The eggs are about eighty, very fmall, feparate, round, white, with a flight tinge of yellow, 
wrapped up in a greenifli, light, round flue. 
The young come out in the dog-days. They live under the bell with the female, who 
kills all forts of infedts, which are entrapped in her net, and drags her prey to the fide of 
the cell for her young ones, which come out and faften on the prey, tearing and fucking 
it with great eagernefs. They are whitifli on the breaft, and dulky on the abdomen, and 
the Iketches of the future marks are but faint. See Frish. Germ. tom. lo. p. 21. 1. 18.
