I have followed Blackwall's classification chiefly in this list. The whole num- 

 ber of species given in this list is 130, of which I have taken 109 in Aberdeen- 

 shire and the north of Kincardineshire, 14 in Banffshire, 34 in Forfarshire, and 

 70 in Perthshire. I shall feel much obliged for any assistance in obtaining 

 spiders from any district north of the Forth. They may be readily preserved 

 for a time in small bottles, in any kind of spirits ; and it greatly enhances the 

 value of the contents of each bottle to have a label with the date and place 

 of collection. I should be happy to make any return in my power for such 

 assistance.
