ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH ARACHNIDA. 41 



Scafell in Cumberland. Another of the new species (Trochosa 

 postuma] was found many years ago at Balmoral, Scotland, by 

 my late Cousin, Col. Pickard, R.A. ; another, Cnepkalocoies 

 ambiguus, in the Isle of Bute by Mr. W. Evans ; one, Tmdicus 

 commodus, by Mr. Claude Morley in Suffolk ; and the remaining 

 one, Phaeocedus parvus, by Mr. E. A. Newbery in London. Of 

 those now recorded for the first time as British, though before 

 described from other parts, one, Erigone arc/tea, was found by 

 myself in considerable abundance near Chickerell, but was at 

 first mistaken for an allied species ; two, Agroeca chrysea, 

 L. Koch, and Lophomma stativum, Sim., were sent to me from 

 St. Leonard's-on-Sea by Mr. Ruskin Butterfield; one, Tmeticus 

 similis, Kulcz., I received from Scotland ; and the fifth, 

 Tapinocyba insecta, L. Koch, was found at Hexham by Dr. A. R. 

 Jackson. Among those of which the females have not before 

 been found I may particularly mention Erigone promiscua, 

 Cambr. The male of this has been known for many years 

 from various localities in England and Scotland, but it is only 

 quite recently that the female has been discovered and sent to 

 me by Mr. R. Butterfield from St. Leonard's-on-Sea. Then, 

 again, among rare species I should mention that several 

 examples of Theridion impressum, L. Koch, were met with at 

 Warmwell by Dr. Jackson during his short visit to me last June. 

 This spider had only occurred once before in England (* near 

 Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire). In another Order of the 

 Arachnida (the Phalangidea, or Harvestmen) I have to record 

 several rare species Sderosoma quadridentatum, Cuvier, from 

 St. Leonard's-on-Sea by Mr. R. Butterfield, and from Warmwell, 

 with Sderosoma Romanum, L. Koch, by Dr. Jackson, Oligolophus 

 Meadii, Cambr., St. Leonard's-on-Sea, by Mr. Butterfield, and 

 Oligolophus Hansenii, Kraepl., Nottinghamshire, by Dr. Carr. 

 Also in another Order of Arachnids (Chernetidea or False- 

 scorpions}tviQ species have been received new to Britain Chernes 

 cyrneus, L. Koch, from Leicester (Dr. Jackson), and Chernes
