The relative length of the legs is not constant; in one example it was 4, 3, 1, 2, in the other 4, 1, 2, 3, 2 and 3 being very nearly equal. Similar variations are also found in the legs of the female. In regard to the nest of this species, researches made subsequently to the publication of _Harvesting Ants and Trap-door Spiders_ have proved it to be of rather a different form from that there represented; thus in the main tube, just before the inner door is reached, there is a descending branch running off from the main tube at the same angle as the ascending branch, but in an opposite direction; in the older and larger nests the descending branch becomes choked with débris; it is more distinct in the nests of the younger spiders, and is always more or less distinctly traceable. _N.B._--In the above details there have been only one or two special distinctions observed between the two male examples examined. It should however be noted that in one (the one captured behind a stone wall) the ocular area was slightly narrower in proportion to its length, and the interval between the eyes of each lateral pair rather less. _Habitat._ San Remo, Bordighera, Mentone, Cannes, and Hyères.

Adult male, length 6-3/4 lines (14 mm.), female adult, length 10-1/2 lines (22 mm.). The examination of an adult example of each sex of this spider received from M. Simon, by whom they were found in Corsica, leads me to conclude that we have here the true _N. meridionalis_, Costa, as certainly at least as it is possible at present to identify the species by the insufficient description and figures given by this author. The _eyes_ appear to be less closely massed together than in _N. Manderstjernæ_, but in other respects no particularly tangible difference is to be noted; the interval however between the eyes of each lateral pair is perhaps rather greater. Between the male and the female of the present species there is a decided difference in the relative position of the eyes. In the female the fore-centrals are nearer together than each is to the fore-lateral on its side, while in the male, the fore-centrals are wider apart than each is from its fore-lateral. I have also noted a similar difference in regard to _N. Manderstjernæ_. The fore-centrals are also smaller in the female than in the male.
