Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplement to Harvesting Ants and Trap-Door Spiders Plate XVIII., p. 225, fig. A. - Part of nest of N. Congener (camb.) taken at Hyeres A 1, lower door of this nest viewed from above, of the natural size A 2, side View of the same A 3, N. Congener (camb.) taken from life, of the natural size A 4, side view of the same, enlarged to twice the natural size, the legs not represented A 5, cephalothorax and falces from specimen in spirits, magnified A 6, the eyes, magnified A 7, femur, patella (or genual joint) and tibia of leg of third pair, showing the three spines on the outer side of the patella, magnified. B, lower door from a smaller and younger nest, viewed from above, of the natural size; B l, the same viewed sideways. While these pages were passing through the press (hyeres, Oct. I have had an Opportunity of examining 17 additional specimens of N. Con gener. I learn from this that the pattern represented on the caput in fig. A 5, does not accord with that in the majority of adult specimens, being usually less defined and composed of three converging bands. Mr. Pickard Cambridge's description (p. 293 below) is, however, quite correct. I may mention that three spines were present on the patella (genual joint) of legs III in 16 specimens, the 17th specimen having but a single spine.
