48 ON BRITISH ARACHNIDA. 



were sent to me by Mr. Horace Donisthorpe, and one by 

 Dr. A. R. Jackson ; the two former were first recorded as 

 British from a single specimen of each, found in the Bloxworth 

 district, Dorset, in 1854, and the other from several immature 

 examples found by myself in the New Forest in 1858. Since 

 these dates neither of them has been met with until this past 

 year. Further notes on these also are added (postea) ; 

 their names are Xysticus robustus, Hahn, and Xysticus luc- 

 tator, L. Koch (two of the largest and handsomest of the 

 European Thomisids or crab-spiders), the third being 

 Oxyopes heterophthalmus, Latr., whose nearest allies are 

 continental and exotic. 



I have now again to thank my many friends and 

 correspondents for their kind assistance during the 

 past year ; especially among them Dr. A. Rand ell 

 Jackson, M.B., D.Sc., of Chester ; Mr. Horace Donisthorpe, 58, 

 Kensington Mansions, London ; Mr. William Falconer, 

 Slaithw r aite, near Huddersfield ; Mr. Denis Packe-Beresford,

If further information is required on any of the Arachnids 

 in the following list, I would refer to " Spiders of Dorset," 

 1879-81 ; and to Papers published since, in its annual Pro- 

 ceedings, 1882-1909, by the Dorset Field Club ; as well as 

 to the " List of British and Irish Spiders " (Sime and Co. :
