Bolyphantes alticeps (Sund.) Only sparingly found 



amongst grass in Wilton Wood. 



Tapinopa longidens (Wid.) Not uncommon on Eston 

 Moor and in Normanby Intake Plantation. 



SUB-FAMILY II.—TETRAGNATHINAE. 



Pachygnatha De Geerii (Sund.) This species is very 

 common, but perhaps is most abundant in watery places. 

 Has occurred in every locality from Redcar to the highest 

 moors. 



Pachygnatha Clerckii (Sund.) As common generally as 

 the last, but has not been taken freely near the town. 



Meta segmentata (Clerck). Very common everywhere. 

 Most freely beaten from furze in localities where that plant 

 is abundant. 



Meta Merianae (Scop.) Very common indeed under the 

 ledges on the gateposts of the Park Gates, and also at other 

 points in the Park and the Borough. Has occurred less 

 freely at Marton and in Kildale. 



Nesticus cellulanus (Clerck.) A lover of dark, damp 

 localities ; has only been taken under stones near a brook 

 running through a wood at Nunthorpe. 



Zilla x-notata (Clerck.) Very common everywhere, even 

 in the Park. 



Zilla atrica (Koch.) The same remark applies to this as 

 to the last. I once found one in Abingdon Road. 



Epeira diadema (Clerck.) This fine large spider known 

 popularly as the " Garden Spider " is excessively abundant 

 on whins on Eston Hills, and is common enough elsewhere. 

 A slate-coloured form, occasionally replaces the brown type 

 in this district.
