In others they are quite irregular, not only in their sliai)e, but in the mode of arrangement, being little more than irregular nodules upon the surface. One of the specimens from California consists of three cocoons, the Hrst of which has the points arranged with considerable regularity, while the others are less in size and are al- most without rugosities. All have little openings towards the top, through which, no doubt, the spiderlings made their escai)e. (Sec Fig. 80, which shows the cocoons natural size.) Cj'rtarachne cornigera is quite as remarkable in the character of its cocoon as in its own structure. This cocoon is a flask shaped object, re- sembling that of Argiopc riparia, but with a .neck relatively much longer. Two examples before me differ greatly in size, one being more than one- Cocoon string of a California Cyrtanicline, seen from two sides. Natural size. Cyrtar- achne Cocoons
