Tapinocyba subitanea (Cb.). 



Walckenaera subitanea^ Cambr. Spid. Dorset. 



We refer to this form, a very minute adult male spider 

 found in moss taken off a wall by the roadside at Morton, 

 three miles south of Edinburgh, on 5th November 1897. 

 The only other British records for it appear to be from 

 Dorset and near Carlisle. 



Pachygnatha listeri, Sund. 



This rather pretty spider was obtained in abundance 

 (ad. 6 s and ? s) off long grass and other herbage on a bank 

 by the roadside at Rosslynlee Railway Station, 20th October 

 1897. We find we have also a female taken at Dreghorn in 

 July 1894, and another at Morton in April 1898. Though 

 not common, it is apparently widespread in England, and 

 occurs also in Ireland, but has not been recorded from 

 Scotland till now. 



Tetragnatha extensa (L.). 



As explained in our previous Supplement, all the 

 specimens recorded in our Edinburgh list under the name 

 of Tetragnatha extensa belong, according to Mr Fred. 0. P. 

 Cambridge's recent paper on the genus, to the form which 

 Scopoli named T. solandrii. We are now able to restore 

 T. extensa to the list, an adult male and many half-grown 

 examples of the typical form, which is very widely 

 distributed both in Great Britain and in Ireland, having 

 been found on heather in a small peat-bog on the Pentland 

 Hills above Carrie, in October 1897. Several immature 

 specimens were also taken on Bavelaw Moss, a few miles 

 farther west, in April 1898. 



Epeira quadrata (Clk.). 



We are pleased to find that this fine spider, though 

 decidedly local, is not altogether absent from the district. 

 In October 1897, several adult females and many young
