THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



spiders here recorded is anything like the number that 

 exists; even that family most numerously represented 

 {Theridiides) has, there can be little doubt, many species yet 

 to be discovered, although comprising, as it does already, 

 more than half the known Scottish spiders. Three genera 

 alone of this family monopolise one hundred and two species : 

 — Neriene, thirty-seven; Walckendera, twenty-eight; and 

 Linyphia, thirty-seven : and it is to these three genera that 

 we may yet expect the most numerous additions to be made 

 by future collectors, especially as the known British species 

 of these three genera amouut to two hundred. 



It is to be hoped that the present summary of the recorded 

 Scottish spiders may induce some of the numerous entomo- 

 logical collectors to pay more attention to them, and so 

 to furnish ere long materials for a supplement to the list 

 subjoined.
