Simoni (Camb.) from life, of the natural size; A 2, the same seen in spirits, the legs not represented; A 3, the same seen sideways and magnified; A 4, the eyes, magnified; A 5, the thoracic fovea, magnified; A 6, line showing measured length of spider, (see above explanation of fig. B 5, plate XV.); A 7, lines showing measured lengths of legs of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pairs, and palpus of spider, with those of the several joints. B, cephalothorax and abdomen of another specimen of N. Simoni, in which the proportions are different, taken from life, of the natural size.
Plate XVII., p. 215, fig. A.—Part of the nest of N. suffusa (Camb.) taken at Montpellier; A 1, N. suffusa (Camb.) from life, of the natural size; A 2, the same in spirits, seen sideways and magnified, the legs not represented; A 3, another view of the same; A 4, the eyes, magnified; A 5, length of spider (see above, fig. B 5, plate XV.); A 6, measurements of legs and palpus; B, N. meridionalis (Costa and Sim.), male, from a specimen in spirits, of the natural size, legs not represented; B 1, the same magnified; B 2, the eyes, magnified; B 3, radial and digital joints of the left palpus with bulb, magnified; B 4, another view of the same, magnified; B 5, back view of the same, magnified, but less highly; B 6, length of spider (see above, fig. B 5, plate XV.); C, N. meridionalis (Costa and Sim.) female, from a specimen in spirit of wine, of the natural size, legs not represented; C 1, eyes of the same, magnified; C 2, length of spider. These two specimens (male and female) were collected in Corsica, and named by M. E. Simon, who kindly presented them to me; they are now in the possession of the Rev. O. Pickard-Cambridge.
Plate XVIII., p. 225, fig. A.—Part of nest of N. congener (Camb.) taken at Hyères; A 1, lower door of this nest viewed from above, of the natural size; A 2, side view of the same; A 3, N. congener (Camb.) taken from life, of the natural size; A 4, side view of the same, enlarged to twice the natural size, the legs not represented; A 5, cephalothorax and falces from specimen in spirits, magnified;[1] A 6, the eyes, magnified; A 7, femur, patella (or genual joint) and tibia of leg of third pair, showing the three spines on the outer side of the patella, magnified. B, lower door from a smaller and younger nest, viewed from above, of the natural size; B 1, the same viewed sideways.
- ↑ While these pages were passing through the press (Hyères, Oct. '74), I have had an opportunity of examining 17 additional specimens of N. congener. I learn from this that the pattern represented on the caput in fig. A 5, does not accord with that in the majority of adult specimens, being usually less defined and composed of three converging bands. Mr. Pickard-Cambridge's description (p. 293 below) is, however, quite correct. I may mention that three spines were present on the patella (genual joint) of legs III in 16 specimens, the 17th specimen having but a single spine.
