vertical round hole in the ground about
ten inches deep, and this, with a small
earth wall sometimes made. round the

down is n small lateral hole, into which
the spider shrinks when an animal falls
into the tube; when the animal has

with the others. The bite is not fatal
to man, but it causes Large swellings.
The children in Bucharest angle for
these spiders by means of an egg-like
ball of kneaded yellow wax tied to
thread. This is lowered with jerks into
the hole, and the spider fastens on to it
and can be pulled out; whereupon an
other thread is passed around one of
the legs, and the animal is played with. "
