chamber contained nothing else, not even traces of food, or the 
remains of insects, which might have been devoured for food. It is 
one of the most abundant native spiders now remaining, and is 
described in “Proceed. Zool. Soc., March, 18/3. . 
*Jj. ligata, Cambr. — A somewhat large, brown, native Spider, 
with yellow body, of which I captured several specimens. An 
excellent figure, and a description of it, are given in “Proceed. 
Zool. Soc.” Nov. 1869, p. 540, pi. xlii. f. 8. 
*L. inexorabilis, Cambr. — 'A brown, native Spider, vei y similar, 
but stouter- than the last, and rarely found. Figured and described 
in “Proceed. Zool. Soc.,” Nov. 1869, p. 541, pi. xlii. f. «). 
Tam. Salticida. 
Salticus, Latr. Bl. 
*S. nigrolimbatus, Cambr. — The large black and white Fly- 
catcher,” or “Money-spider,” as it is commonly called. This 
funny little creature receives this latter name because of a popular 
superstition which the natives entertain. They say that one of 
these insects approaching a person signifies that a gift of money 
will follow. It conceals itself generally behind a small web, inserted 
between the window-sashes and the frame-beadings, ready to dart 
out upon its prey. It manages in a most clever manner to run 
along a pane of glass, and then with a spring darts with the lapidity 
of lightning through the air, a distance of several inches, upon 
some unsuspecting fly. It is described and figured in Pioceed. 
Zool. Soc.” Nov. 1869, p. 542, pi. xlii. f. 10.* 
S. adansonii, Savig. — The Black “ Money-spider, or Ply- 
catcher,” which occurs also in Egypt. 
*S. inexcultus, Cambr. — A small native species, with habits 
resembling those of the others. Described “Proceed. Zool. Soc.,” 
March, 1873. „ 
*S. subinstructus, Cambr. (S. illigeri , Proceed. Zool. Soc., 
Nov. 1869.)— A small black, native “Fly-catcher,” or “Money- 
spider,” found abundantly underneath the large stones on High 
Knoll, and in similar places on other barren and hot parts of the 
Island. Described “Proceed. Zool. Soc., March, 1873. 
* Mr. Cambridge informs me that this species has since been most unexpectedly found at 
Freshwater, in the Isle of Wight.
