Hermann). of these protuberances there often lies a peculiar structure called the cribrellum, with a covering of very fine hairs (fig. 395, Or). The spinning glands (fig. 396) are tubes of various shapes : they open by fine pores on the surface of the spinning papiUse, and secrete a viscid material, which in the air hardens to a fine thread and is woven by the aid of the claws on the feet into the well-known spider's web. Nervous system (fig. 367).—Besides the brain, with the nerves to the eyes and che- licera?, there is a single, usually star-shaped gaiiglionic mass in the thorax, from which nerves pass to the pedipalpi and legs, and also to the abdomen. Visceral nerves have also been observed on the alimentary canal. As a rule there are eight, or more rarely are disposed in two curved lines or more.
