The female re- mains on guard by her eggs. The cocoon of Drassus sylvcstris is white, of a flattened shape, and a little less than one-third inch in diameter. It is formed in July English j concealed in the silken cell in a hole in the earth under stones. The mother is usually found witli her cocoons. Drassus lapidicolens conceals herself in a cell formed between, the sur- face of the earth and the under side of a stone, near which she spins some threads, forming an irregular square. In this cell, in the months of July and August, she places her cocoon, covering it with dead leaves. This, at first, is in the form of a flattened sphere, but becomes nearly round when the yt)ung are about to escape. It is white and about one-half an inch in diameter. The mother remains with her young some time after the eggs are hatched. The cocoons formed by the beautiful little Drassus nitens are about one-sixth inch in diameter, hemispherical, and white. The mother inhabits a tube which proceeds from the upper side of the cocoon. ' See descriptions of Blackwall and Staveley.
