=Note B, p. 218.=--The male spiders of Orbweavers when they "would a-wooing go," hang around the edge of the orbweb, and are not always received kindly. Sometimes, indeed, they are eaten.

=Note C, p. 220.=--"Hyptiotes." The Triangle Spider, Hyptiotes cavatus HENTZ. Its snare and mode of capturing prey are most interesting and ingenious.

=Note D, p. 223.=--This rigidity of limbs is not exaggerated, and is common to both old and young of this species.
