60 ON BRITISH ARACHNID A. 



Ireland, by Mr. Wallis Kew. This occurrence is interest- 

 ing, being only the third locality in the British Isles 

 whence it has been recorded. It was first found by the late 

 Mr. Meade, F.R.C.S., &c., of Bradford, Yorkshire, 

 in the Lake District of Cumberland in 1863, and subse- 

 quently in 1894 near Brockenhurst, New Forest, by Mr. 

 Cecil Warburton ; also afterwards (1895) I found it in 

 June in fair abundance in the same New Forest locality. 

 On the 18th of July the examples I met with were of 

 both sexes and mostly adult ; and I had now the oppor- 

 tunity of observing them in their curiously imperfect 

 orbicular snares, and to see how they assisted the en- 

 tanglement of their prey by suddenly letting loose a line 

 held in readiness in their claws. The three far separated 

 localities mentioned above show a remarkably wide 

 distribution in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and 

 Ireland.
