Abstract
Summary— Some biological facts have been given concerning L. tredecim-guttatus and L. pallidus in Palestine. Their distribution and development have been dealt with. Special attention was paid to the structure of the web and the role the egg-sacs play in young spiders. The factors regulating the leaving of the sac were stated. Observations have been made on the process of copulation. The nature of the food has been investigated. The question of the amount of venom of both species was given special emphasis, and along with some subsidiary questions an experiment was made to compare the strength of the venom of both Palestinian spiders. It has been shown that in the years in which observations were made the strength of the venom of Latrodectus tredecim-guttatus was greater than that of L. pallidus.
