This threw light on the confusion which had existed between 
borealis and coronatus. The spiders from the north that we 
described in 1888 as coronatus and coecatus were really borealis 
B. In a recent letter Mr. Emerton says: I have found the 
young males of borealis, for the last two seasons, in August 
as well as in the spring,—in August a few mature males with 
them. I found them at Ipswich as late as June, so they appear 
to mature at any time, spring or fall.”

The cephalothorax is dark to light brown. Covering the cly- 
peus and extending back on either side is a band of short white 
hairs; this band turns up on the thorax and reaches the top, 
widening behind each dorsal eye. The cephalic plate is covered 
with short yellowish hairs surrounded by a white border, which 
lies just within the quadrangle of the eyes. The abdomen is 
black with a white basal band which runs down on the sides. 
Hear the middle is a second curved transverse white band the 
two being joined by a white band, which extends from one to 
the other in the middle of the dorsum. Further back there is 
another median longitudinal band made up of short white chev¬ 
rons. Just above the spinnerets are two white spots. The pos¬ 
terior sides have white scallops the points of which sometimes 
come up to the top of the abdomen. The venter usually has 
four light bands uniting at the spinnerets; between the bands 
the color is dark. The first leg has fringes both above and 
below, on the femur, patella and tibia; the hairs on the femur 
are brown, those behind being tipped with white, as are also
