SPECIES IX. — A. CoRNUTus. 
HORNED-SPIDER. 
This fpecies is common about the middle of June. The markings vary j for there are 
brownifli ones as well as black or white. The moft common mark is a longitudinal black 
one on the abdomen, which has the appearance of two cornucopias oppofite to each other. 
Plate 7, fig. 6. 
The eyes are blackj the fide-ones, of wdiich one is rather fmaller, the other a little larger 
than the four middle ones, are joined together in the fame cavity. 
The legs are hairy, briflly, and prickly. 
The thorax is lightly fcattered over towards the middle with white down, which is more 
abundant towards the eyes. 
The whole abdomen is downy, like filk, and marked by a fpot, as reprefented in the 
figure. Below, near the fexual organ, are two whitifii crefcents. 
The arms abound with hairs, briftles, and prickles. 
T he holders are perpendicular, black, and hairy. 
The eggs, which were laid on the 24th of June, in a mafs of the fize of a large garden- 
pea, cannot be feparated without injuring them. A long fimple thread immediately involves 
them, and on the outfide of this are loofe hairs. 
SPECIES X. — A. Sericatus. 
SILKY-SPIDER. 
Found the middle of June. I venture to comprehend this under its proper fpecies, on ac- 
count of its varying marks j not folicitous whether hereafter the contrary may not be proved 
by certain and new experiments. Plate i, fig. 8.
