Dr a. Randell Jackson has recently published ^ " A 

 Second Contribution to the Spider Fauna of Scotland ; 

 with Description of a New Spider of the Genus Clubiona." 

 During a fortnight in June 19 14 spent in various parts of 

 the Highlands of Scotland no fewer than 139 species were 

 obtained, seven of which were new to Scotland and two

 of species previously known to occur within the same limits. 

 The report of the superintendent includes an account of the 

 systematic investigation, extending over the greater part 

 of July, of a stretch of sandy shore near Fairlie ; a summary
