Note {3} — Chapter I · : THE BLACK-BELLIED TARANTULA
Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
The Tarantula is a Lycosa, or Wolf-spider. Fabre’s Tarantula, the Black-bellied Tarantula, is identical with the Narbonne Lycosa, under which name the description is continued in Chapters iii. to vi., all of which were written at a considerably later date than the present chapter.—Translator’s Note.
