24 The Scottish Naturalist. 



and as my captures include a good many of some interest, and as, besides, to 

 my knowledge, very little is known about the distribution of spiders north of the 

 Forth, I am induced to give a complete list of the species taken. They include 

 four new to science ; several new to Britain, or of very rare occurrence, some of 

 them having been met with on the Cheviots, for the first time, by Mr. Hardy, 

 last winter ; while a number of them are new to Scotland. The localities in 

 which I have collected have been Deeside and Donside in Aberdeenshire 

 (especially about Aberdeen and in Braemar), Lintrathen in Forfarshire, and 

 about Dunkeld and at Stanley in Perthshire. For some species I am indebted 

 to friends, especially to Dr. Buchanan White, for some from Braemar, and others 

 from Dunkeld.
