Palj/i very clKiractori.stic and (iuite simihii- in the two 

 specimens. 



Centi'omerus sylvat'icufi, Bl. 



Tmeficus sijlvaticus, Bl., Camb., List of British & Irisli Spiders, 1003. 

 Tineticus serratiis, Camb., Proc. Dorset Nat, Hist. & Antiq. Field 

 Club, vol. xsviii., 1907, pp. 143-144, pi. B, figs. 45-43 (female oal}). 



Centromenis prudens, (Iamb. 



Tmeticus prudens, Camb., List of British & Irish Spiders, 1900. 

 Tmeficus serrafus, Camb., Proc. Dorset Nat. Hist. & .-Vntiq. Fi.>ld 

 Club, vol. xxviii., 1907, pp. 143-144, pi. B, figs. 4o-48 (male only). 



I liave examined the Britisli example3 of the supposed 

 C. sernituSj C'amh. The male is C prudens and the female 

 C. si/lvaticus. They differ markedly from the true C. serratns, 

 of which I possess French examples, and which, among other 

 things, is a very much smaller s[)ider. 



Centromenis similis, Kulcz. 



Tmeticus simiiis, Kulcz., Camb., Proc. Dorset Nat. Ilist. & Antia. Field 

 Club, vol. xxvi., 190-5, pp. 62-63, pi. A, figs. 12-13. 



I have examined this small female, which is unknown to 

 me, though certainly 2l Centromerus. It is not, 1 helieve, 

 G. simiiis, Kulcz., and more closely resemhles C. incilium, 

 L. Koch ; but, since it has not been compared with that 

 species, I do not advise altering the name under which it 

 stands on the British list at present. 



Micryphantes rurestris, C. L. Koch. 



Microneta rurestris, C. L. Koch, Camb., List of British & Irish Spiders, 



1900. 

 Eupolis e.rcavatn, Camb., Proc. Dorset Nat. Hist. & .\nti(j. Field Club, 



vol. xxi., 1900, pp. 26-27, pi., figs. 7 a, b, c, d. 



I examined the type-female of E. excavata. In my opinion 

 this is certainly a decolourize 1 female of ^[. rurestris, C. L. K. 

 The depression at the occiput is, I believe, due to traumii. 



Ificrt/pliantes beatus, C.imb. 



Microneta beata, Camb., Proc. Dorset Nat. Hist. & Antiq. Field Club, 



vol. xxvii., 1906, pp. 90-91, pi. A, figs. 27-31. 

 Bathyphantes cxp/icafa, Camb., Proc. Dorset Nat. Hist. & Aatiq. Field 



Cliib, vol. xxxiii., 1912, p. 75, pi. A, figs. 14 & 15. 



The type of B. e.rpUcata exactly resembles M. healus in
