^TbllERE seems to have been nothing remarkable 

 recorded either in respect to the appearance or 

 non-appearance of spiders in the abnormal

 which set in in IMarcli and extended to the 

 beginning of July threw the insect tribes of all 

 kinds quite out of their usual reckoning, but 

 the spiders appear to have kept to their normal 

 times, only that their numbers were certainly far less abundant 

 than usual, especially those which ordinarily abound in early 

 autumn. Among those met with by myself and others arc nine 

 species new to science and four new to Lritain. Among the 

 former three new genera of lAnijiihiina: are characterised. As 

 regards Dorsetshire one only of the above occurred in the county ;

 near Penrith in Cumberland, om- from Southwell Xottingham-
