[WORK FROM THE PORT ERIN BIOLOGICAL STATION.] 



LIST of the AEANEIDA of POET EBIN and 



DISTEICT. 



By A. E. Jackson, B.Sc. (Vict.), 



Victoria University Scholar in Zoology. 



While occupying the University College work-place in 

 the Port Erin Biological Station during the session 1897- 

 98, in addition to my study of marine life, I paid some 

 attention to collecting the spielers of the neighbourhood. 



Prof. Herdman suggested that I should follow this up, 

 on a further visit to the station, with the object of com- 

 pleting a list of the Araneida found at Port Erin ; and I 

 am now, as the result of my observations, able to record 

 the following 57 species. They were all found within a 

 radius of 1 mile of the Biological Station, except Amauro- 

 bius ferox and Epe'ira quadrata.
