will note that the general color of the spider corresponds with 
the rusty brown of the under side of the bark of the shag-bark 
hickory when first pulled off. In that hibernating locality it 
covers itself with a thin bluish envelope. The spider is so 
nearly of the bark color, and so small, that we would often over¬ 
look the speck in the center of the envelope, supposing it to be 
merely the empty tube or cell of some young spider.”
