50 ON BRITISH ARACHNID A. 



Fam. DYSDERID^J. 



Ischnothyreus velox, Jackson. 



This curious little spider has again been sent to me 

 during the past year from the Royal Gardens, Kew, 

 where, in the warmer buildings, it appears to be quite 

 domiciled, though no doubt originally introduced from 

 some exotic region. 



Fam. DRASSIDJE. 



Drassus pubescens, Thor. 



An adult male sent to me in July, 1908, from Whit- 

 church, near Stratford-on-Avon, by the Rev. J. A. 

 Bloom. 



Prosthesima pedestris, C. L. Koch. 



A full grown example of this spider was sent to me from 

 the New Forest, Hampshire, by Mr. H. Donisthorpe ; 

 it was in the jaws of another spider. 



Xysticus robustus, Hahn. 



Noted further on p. 62 postea. 



Clubiona neglecta, Cambr. 



An adult male sent to me from Worcestershire by the 

 Rev. J. H. Bloom. It is a rare spider, though widely 

 distributed. 



Clubiona facilis, sp.n. 



Nearly allied to Clubiona holosericea, De Geer. A 

 single example of the adult female sent to me from 

 Shipley, Yorkshire, by Mr. R. P. Winter (see further 

 note and description p. 68 postea).
