=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. =Note E, p. 226.=--The Labyrinth spider makes several cocoons, strung together as the several figures show. Each one is made of two circular caps united at the edges, so that Brownie Dodge could thus open an edge and peep out. CHAPTER XXIII. =Note A, p. 238.=--"The water Pixie's den." The water spider of Europe, Argyroneta aquatica, makes a cocoon upon the water, somewhat in the manner described. No species with like habits has yet been discovered in America, and the author in locating the same at "Hillside," has sacrificed the facts of geographical distribution to imagination. But no doubt he will be pardoned for the sake of the incident which brings the lost Boatswain Pipe to life again. CHAPTER XXIV. =Note A, p. 240.=--There is some, though little, variety in the color of silk with which spiders spin their snares; but their cocoons are often woven with bright colored silk. CHAPTER XXV. =Note A, p. 250.=--The tradition that spiders are sensitive to music is old and widely spread, but appears to have little or no basis in natural habit. However, the reader may find, if he will, some pleasant stories based thereon. =Note B, p. 250.=--"Feigning death." This habit is strongly developed in many spider species. CHAPTER XXVI. =Note A, p. 259.=--"Bowl shaped battery." Fig. 110 was drawn from a snare of Linyphia communis HENTZ, woven among morning glories. Compare with that of Linyphia marginata HENTZ, Fig. 68, p. 151, in which the bowl is reversed. CHAPTER XXVII. =Note A, p. 270.=--The Trap-doors drawn at Figs. 117, 118 and 121 are from Moggridge, and are not of American species, though they differ only in size. =Note B, p. 271.=--This habit has been attributed to the Trap-door makers, but needs to be confirmed. =Note C, p. 275.=--The mother wasp, which lances and paralyzes the big southwestern Tarantula, Eurypelma Hentzii, is Pepsis formosa, called popularly the "Tarantula hawk." The author has seen it pursuing the above species, but does not know positively that it attacks the true Trap-door maker, Cteniza Californica. CHAPTER XXVIII. =Note A, p. 280.=--This is no doubt a true representation; see the three claw marks on the inside of the lid shown at Fig. 124. =Note B, p. 284.=--The moulting period (see next Chapter), is attended with great weakness.
