Cuvier's animal kingdom : arranged according to its organization cuviersanimalkin00cuvi Year: 1840 PULMONARIA. 457 of which, in a state of repose, occupy a circular space of six or seven inches in diameter, and [are asserted] to seize Humming-birds. They form their nests in tlie slits of trees, beneath the bark, in the cavities of stones and rocks, or on the surface of leaves of various vegetables. The cell of the M. avicularia is in the shape of.a tube, nar- rowed into a point at its posterior extremity. It is composed of a white web of very fine texture, seniitransparent, like muslin. M. Goudot gave me a nest which was about seven or eight inches long, and about two inches broad. The cocoon of this species had the size and shape of a large nut. Its envelope, formed of the same materials as the nest, consists of three layers. It appears that the young are there hatched, and undergo their first moulting. This naturalist informs me that he has obtained as many as a hundred young ones from one cocoon. (See my memoir on the habits of the Mygale avicularia, Lin., in those of the Mm. d'Hist. Nat., torn. vii. p. 456.) The body of this species is about an inch and a half long, black, and very hairy, with the tips of the palpi, legs, &c., reddish. South America and the Antilles also furnish other species, which are known to the French colonists under the name of Spider-Crabs, and of which the bite is reputed very dangerous. There is also a large East Indian species (il/, fasciata, Seba) ; and a species is brought from the Cape of Good Hope, nearly as large as M. avicularia. Another species (M. valentina) has been discovered in the arid deserts of Moxenta, in Spain, by M. Dufour; and another, from the same country, has been described by Walckenaer (M. calpeiana). These two species form a particular group, having the ungues exposed. (See further our articles on this and the allied genera in the Nouv. Diction.
