Trochosa terricola (Thor.) Common under stones every- 

 where. 



Lycosa amentata (Clk.) This and the following five 

 species are the blackish spiders one sees dashing about 

 amongst the herbage in early summer. Common on all the 

 moors, and also found at Redcar. 



Lycosa lugubris (Walck.) Immature specimens were very 

 plentiful at Eston in May. 



Lycosa pullata (Clk.) Common everywhere. 



Lycosa herbigrada (Bl.) Immature individuals in early 

 May on the North side of Eston Moor. A rare spider. 



Lycosa palustris (Linn.) One in Lonsdale at the end of 

 May. 



Lycosa nigriceps (Thor.) Common on all the Moors. 

 Was exceedingly abundant amongst Erica tetralix and 

 Empetrum nigrum in Normanby Intake Plantation in Sep- 

 tember. 



FAMILY— D1CTYN1DAE. 



Dictyna arundinacea (Linn.) Immature examples were to 

 be found in profusion in early spring, both at Eston and 

 Ay ton. 



Dictyna uncinata (Westr.) Not uncommon at Marton, 

 Gunnergate and Nunthorpe. Chiefly on whins. 



Amaurobius fenestralis (Stroem.) One of our commonest 

 spiders. There is a very strong colony in Albert Road, 

 which seems badly infested with ichneumons. I hope to 

 breed this ichneumon and thus discover the species later. 

 Although plentiful here from sea level to an altitude of 

 1,000 ft., it is rare in the South and on the Continent. 



Amaurobius similis (Bl.) Common in town in walls, 

 greenhouses, etc. Not uncommon at Marton and Redcar.
