Diagram of the double-branched nest of, with an outer and inner trap-door, from Mentone, as above described. This is a yellowish spider, very similar to Nemesia csementaria. Mr. Moggridge describes and figures various kinds of trap-door nests that he observed near Mentone, and no doubt if the rest of the shores of the Mediterranean were equally well searched, a gireater number of species would be found.

During the last year two or three specimens of a trap-door spider's nest, constructed on another fashion in a peculiar locality, viz. in the bark of a tree, have been received in England from South Africa. The nest and lid are as nearly like the bark it- self, as those from the ground are like the soil where they are made. It would appear from more than one of the same kind.
