new Genera and Species of British Spiders. 109 



Head, 1 had noticed minicroiis Lycosids scrambling about 

 amongst the stones which surround the pathway. These I 

 took to be L. amentata, and in the hurry of the niarcli and in 

 the distraction of company did not stop to identify them more 

 certaiidy, 



A few weeiis later, however, having secured several speci- 

 mens, I discovered them to be very different to amentata^ and 

 submitted them to the Rev. 0. Piekard Cambridge, who 

 pronounced them to be L. Trailii, discovered many years 

 before in Scotland and described by himself. 



Their habits are peculiar, for they seem to dwell entirely in 

 that wilderness of loose stones, acres in extent, which lies 

 around the base of the Great Gable Mountain. JGxceedingly 

 swift in their movements, they are very difficult to capture, 

 for they seem seldom to venture far from the shelter of the 

 rocks, and when once amongst the stones all further pursuit 

 is useless. 



They resemble amentata very much in general appearance, 

 but are very decidedly larger, with longer legs ; very black, 

 with grey hairs. 



It was a little late for them when I discovered their value, 

 so that only twenty or thirty adult males and females were 

 taken. 



It is, however, evidently a very abundant spider, and 

 probably inhabits the " screes " of sunny aspect throughout 

 the whole of the Lake Districts.
