ON NEW AND RARE BRITISH ARACHNIDA. 49 



June ayth, 1898, 3rd Ser., Vol. V., No. i, p., 172), under 

 this name by Mr. G. H. Carpenter is the true E. longipalpis 

 of Sund. or not, I do not know, not having seen the 

 examples. 



Erigone pascalis, Cambr., is without doubt an undeveloped 

 form of E. longipalpis,

Both sexes were met with in abundance by myself under 

 dry seaweed and othes debris near Chickerell, and were at 

 first mistaken for E. longipalpis, to which it is allied. Prof. 

 Kulczynski, of Cracow, first drew my attention to their 

 distinctness, and considers them to be a variety of E. 

 arctica, White-Cambr., to which he has given the name 

 "maritima" in his excellent monograph of the European 

 species of Erigone (I.e. supra). I am not entirely satisfied 

 as to their identity with E. arctica, White-Cambr. ; the type 

 of this last species has several well-marked differences upon 

 which I am inclined to lay more weight than Prof. 

 Kulczynski gives them. In the absence, however, of a 

 series of examples of the more northern form for com- 

 parison, I record the Chickerell specimens as new to 

 Britain under the name of arctica, White-Cambr., var. 

 maritima, Kulcz. I have, since these were found, met with 

 it in other Dorset localities, and have also received it from 

 the North of England, Scotland, and Ireland, but in every 

 instance the examples are strictly the var. maritima, and are 

 wanting in those characters which I think may one day 

 prove them to be distinct from E. arctica, White-Cambr.
