Mr. H. W. Freston, of Westfield, Poynton, Cheshire ; four by Mr. 

 William Falconer, of Slaithwaite, near Huddersfield, Yorkshire ; 

 and one by Mr. Falconer in Yorkshire and Epping Forest ; and 

 Dr. Jackson at Hexham and Keswick. These are all included in 

 the following lists ; and descriptions of the new species are also 

 added. I must here express my thanks to some other friends 

 for many specimens or collections of spiders received during the 

 past year ; among them particularly the Rev. J. H. Bloom, 

 Whitchurch, near Stratford-on-Avon ; Mr. W. Ruskin Butter- 

 field, of St. Leonard's-on-Sea ; Mr. H. Donisthorpe, of 58, 

 Kensington Mansions, London ; Mr. Claude Morley, of Ipswich ; 

 Mr. G. F. Steward, of the Lower Close, Norwich ; Mr. J. H. 

 Oliver, of Bradford, Yorkshire ; Mr. James Waterston, of Edin- 

 burgh (from whom I received a small, but very interesting, 

 collection from the Island of St. Kilda) ; and Mr. Robert 

 Godfrey (also of Edinburgh), who sent to me, among others, 

 a small collection from the Orkneys.
