 south than Lough Ree, Co. Roscommon, was taken by Mr, R. A.

 Supplementary List of Irish Spiders (Proc. R. L A., 1909)'. I have since 

 taken a female at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, and Mr. R. A. Phillips took another 

 female at Portumna, Co. Galway, in April, 1921.

 1922, I recorded captures of this spider in the provinces of Ulster and 

 Munster. It had previously been recorded only for Leinster (Proc. 

 R. I. Academy), 1909. I have now to record its occurrence in Connaught, 

 a single male having been taken by Mr. R. A. Phillips at Woodford, Co. 

 Galway, in June 1922. Mr. Phillips also got two males at New Ross, 

 Co. Wexford, in May 1921.

 those given by Professor Carpenter in his List of Irish Spiders (Proc. 

 R. I. x\cad. 1898), and were all from Ulster (Counties Antrim, Down 

 and Monaghan). I have since received a single female from Co. Armagh, 

 taken by Mr. N. H. Foster on Lough Neagh, and have myself taken two 

 more females, one near Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon, and another on 

 Howth Cliffs, Co. Dublin.

 is a rare spider, and has previously only occurred in three Ulster and 

 three Leinster counties.
