[WITH PLATE.] 



LTHOUGH my own outdoor work among the Spider 

 tribes has been limited during the past year, 

 the help and work of some of my friends have 

 added some important items to our list of 

 indigenous species ; besides which I am now 

 describing for the first time some examples of 

 the female sex of several species found at 

 Bloxworth some years ago, but laid aside for 

 the time in hopes of the males being met with. 

 Thus the additions to our British list, since my 

 last communication to the Field Club, consist of five species not 

 before recorded as British, and eight species new to science. 

 Of those new to Britain one fine species Tegenaria pagana, 

 C. L. Koch was sent to me by Mr. F. P. Smith, by whom it was 

 found near Birmingham ; another, Cnephalocotes pusillus, Menge, 

 I received for examination from Mr. G. H. Carpenter, of the 

 Science and Art Museum, Dublin. This spider was found near 

 Southport, in Lancashire, a grand locality and the scene of many 

 hours pleasant and successful Spider-hunting in the years
