ARACHNID A. 



Attus florlcola, C. Koch.— lu the record of spiders collected on 

 the Galway Excursion (p. 256 of this volume), I stated that this rare 

 spider was new to Ireland and recorded as British from Brighton. The 

 Rev. O. P. Cambridge has since kindly examined my specimens and 

 compared them and the Brighton spiders with German types. This has 

 shown that the Lough Corrib species is the true A. floricola, C.K., and 

 new to the British Isles, the Brighton spider being referable to the 

 nearly allied form, A. mam us, Thorell.

Rose Beetle In Ireland. — As I see the Rose Beetle {Cetonia aurata) 

 is put down as rare in Ireland in the September number (p. 262) it may be 

 worth while recording a specimen which was brought me in August, 

 1S89, from the top of Slieve League, Co. Donegal.

Splrula Peronil in Co. Antrim. — I do not think I ever recorded 

 the finding of three specimens of Spintla Peronii — dead of course — near 

 Port Ballintrae, in 1893. Thej- came in with a shoal oi lanthina,

Helix arbustorum near Armag^h. — This seems to be a rare shell 

 in Ireland. Dr. Scharff says — (/. Nat., vol. i, p. 107) — that Thompson 

 found it in Co. Antrim and in Co. Down. Mr. W. Kenned}' (/. Nat., vol. 

 ii., p. 302\ found it at Glencar Waterfall, Co. Leitrim. Mr. vStanden (/. c. 

 p. 230) got one dead specimen at Portsalon, Co. Donegal. 1 have the 

 plea.sure of recording its occurrence in a new locality, as I found it living 

 near Armagh, last September. This is an interesting addition to the fauna 

 of District 10 in which Armagh is situated.

Lepton SykeslI, Chaster, In Klllala Bay.— I have to record the 

 occurrence of this rare shell in this locality, I may say a new shell on 

 this coast, a.s it was recorded for the first time, this autumn, from Dog's 

 Bay, Galwa3\ I am indebted to Dr. Chaster, Southport, for its discovery 

 in some shell drift from Bartra Lsland, I sent him a .short time .since.

Adeorbls Impersplcuus, Monterosato off Roundstone. — 



This .shell is recorded from Round.stone by Dr. Chaster, in the Journal of 

 Malacology for September 30th, 1895. The specimens first discovered in 

 British waters were identified as Cyclostre?na niilleputictatttm, Friele, 

 but have subsequently been shown to be Adeorbis iiuperspicuns, Montero- 

 sata. This shell has been found off the Sicilian coast, and in British 

 waters at Southport and Oban.
