specimens before him and in addition, Abbot’s four figures; these 
he regarded as representing varieties of the single species and identi- 
cal with De Geer’s Aranea rufa. WDwo of the drawings’ bear 
no resemblance to any known American species and the other two 
can not be placed with any certainty. Walckenaer’s description in 
itself is insufficient for purposes of identification. 
Dolomedes mirus, p. 357. This species was selected by 
Simon as the type of the genus Pisaurina. Abbot (pl. 65, fig. 321) 
represents an immature male with the legs rather short and the 
color pattern quite unlike any of the familiar varieties. In the 
description however—and Walckenaer must have had specimens 
before him—the species is likened to Pisaura (Dolomedes) 
mirabilis of Europe, Africa etc., a form not unlike our species 
in color pattern.

generic name Ocyale, Koch described and gave a figure of a speci- 
men which he believed to represent Aranea rufa of De Geer 
and Dolomedes rufus of Walckenaer. I have been unable 
to place this species which resembles in a slight degree the 
Dolomedes scriptus of Hentz but lacks entirely the dis- 
tinctive characters of D. albineus. 
Dolomedes oblongus, p. 114, pl. 484, fig. 1350. Now 
placed by Petrunkevitch in Diapontia of the Lycosidae. 
Dolomedes scapularis, pp. 119-120, tab. 486, fig. 
1354. Here considered a synonym of Dolomedes triton 
Walckenaer but recorded doubtfully, by Cambridge’, in Thaumasia. 
Dolomedes binotatus, pp. 121-122, tab. 487, fig. 1356. 
A large yellowish-brown species with a pair of black spots on the 
back of the abdomen in Koch’s figure. No specimens have been 
found in the United States that agree with the description or figure. 
Cambridge loc. cit. places it doubtfully in Thaumasia. 
Dolomedes aerugineus, pp. 122-123, tab. 487, fig. 
1357°.. This species is recorded from “Amerika” so probably not 
from the United States. It is represented as being uniform yel-
