Clubiona grisea C. L. Koch. C. stagnatilis. Kulcz (Carpenter, List 

 Spid. I). — Mr. R. A. Phillips has sent me a male he took at Ballinasloe in 

 August, 1 92 1, and two males and one female taken by him at Portumna, 

 Co, Galway, in December, 1922, which extends the range of this spider 

 into Connaught ; but it has not yet been taken further north than Lough 

 Ennel, in Co. Westmeath, where a single female was taken by Mr. J. N. 

 Halbert some years ago. The only other counties in which it has occurred 

 are Dublin, Carlow, Waterford and Wicklow, Mr. A. W. Stelfox having 

 sent me a female he took on The Murrough, Co. Wicklow, in February, 

 1924. 



Clubiona neglecta Cambr.-^This rare spider seems only to occur on 

 the coast in Ireland, having been taken in Coimties Dublin, Wicklow, 

 Waterford, Kerry, Mayo (Clare Island) and Antrim, Mr. R. A. Phillips 

 has now taken it near Galway, having found a single female there in June, 

 1923, 



Chiracanthium lapidicolens Simon, — Professor Carpenter recorded 

 this Spider originally from a capture by Mr. Halbert on Inish McDara in 

 1896, and it was taken subsequently in 1899 at Kenmare, but only a single 

 female in each case. When collecting on the sand hills at Arklow, Co. 

 Wicklow, I took a single male in July, 191 3 ; and in July, 1922, I found 

 a single female on Fair Head, Co. Antrim. It is a rare spider in Ireland 

 and seems only to occur on the coast. 



Zora spinnlmana Sund. — This Spider, which Professor Carpenter in 

 his list describes as a scarce spider in Ireland, has up to the present been 

 recorded only from six southern counties of Munster and Leinster, with 

 the single exception of a capture near Londonderry by Mr. J. N. Milne 

 in 1897. Mr, R. A. Phillips has now taken it in two localities in Co. 

 Tipperary (Corrakean Island, Lough Derg, and near Roscrea) and two in 

 Co. Galway ; an adult pair at Portumna in August, 1921, and an immature 

 male at Woodford in June, 1922. 



Miearia pulicaria Sund, — A male taken by Mr. R. A. Phillips at 

 Borrisokane, Co. Tipperary, in May, 1923, is the first record of this Spider 

 in the province of Munster. It has been found in a few localities in the 

 other three provinces. 



Oxyptila sanctuaria Cambr. — A single female of this very rare 

 species was taken by Mr. R. A. Phillips at Tramore, Co. Waterford, in 

 August, 1923, and is an addition to the Irish list. 



It wAs first identified by the Rev. O. P. Cambridge from specimens 

 taken on the walls of the Church at Bloxworth, Dorset, and has occurred 

 at four other places along the south coast of England and in the Island of 

 Guernsey. Mr, Cambridge describes it as rare and local. 



On the continent it has been found at five localities in France ; and a 

 single specimen is recorded from Hungary, 



Dr. Jackson kindly identified the Irish specimen for me.
