126 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
species that I have found, one hundred and eleven is the total 
number of our Irish Species so far as known. 
It is probable that one collecting in the South or West of 
Ireland would be rewarded for his labour by a more numerous 
list of species than is to be found in the more northerly parts, 
and more especially if one considers that the species already found 
in Great Britain amount to upwards of five hundred. 
It may be remarked that there is considerable doubt about 
some of Dr. Templeton’s species, as the types were deposited by 
that gentleman in the Belfast Museum, and have long since 
disappeared. 
For the preservation of spiders in the cabinet, I of course use 
spirits of wine, but place my specimens in flattened phials, in 
which the spider appears to better advantage, though not quite so 
convenient for taking out and examining as by Mr. Cambridge's 
method of test-tubes, stopped with a pledget of cotton, and then 
placed in stoppered bottles with spirits of wine. 
In the following list, I have adopted the classification as given 
by Mr. Cambridge. It contains all the species, as far as I can 
find, that have been observed in Ireland; and nearly all are from 
the neighbourhood of Belfast, in the counties of Antrim and 
Down. 
Only two appear to be new to science, namely, Erigone im- 
proba, Camb., and Linyphia subnigripes, Camb., though some are 
rare in England, and I believe the two Species of Dysdera; D. 
Cambridgii, Thor., and D. crocata, C. Koch, have not hitherto 
been found in Scotland.
