ON BRITISH ARACHXIDA. 99 



days past I have received, from a Yorkshire correspondent, 

 Dr. G. H. Oliver, of Bradford, an adult female of a fine 

 species of spider Zoropsis maculosa, Cambr., imported among 

 bananas from the Canary Islands. Of this species I had 

 received, from another correspondent about three years ago, 

 several young examples from the same locality, and also in a 

 package of bananas. 



Further information about the Spiders noted in the following 

 List may be found in "Spiders of Dorset" 1879-81 and in 

 papers published almost annually since then in the " Proceed- 

 ings " of our Field Club ; also in " List of Brit, and Irish 

 Spiders, 1900." I would mention also that an illustrated paper 

 on some British Spiders (by Dr. A. R. Jackson) has been 

 recently published (1908) ; and another (by Mr. Frank P. Smith) 

 in the journal of the Quekett Microscopical Club, November, 

 1908, Vol. 10, pp. 311-33 4, PI. 25. Dr. Jackson has also more 

 recently still published a paper on spiders found in 1908, in 

 " Trans. Nat. His. Soc. Northumberland, Durham, and New- 

 castle-upon-Tyne," N.S., Vol. III., Part 2.
