XXII I. — Two Spiders new to the British Fauna. By GKORCf E 

 H. Carpenter, B.Sc Lond., of tlie Science and Art

During the pa.«t few years I have received consignmcnt.s of 

 spiders for identification from Mr. A. Kandell-Jackson, of 

 kSoulhport, collected by liim in various parts of Northern 

 P^ngland and the Isle of !Man. Many of his captures are of 

 considerable faunistic interest, and these will be duly recorded 

 in local lists. Two species, however, are of particular im- 

 portance, being undoubtedly additions to the British fauna, 

 and one of them seems to be new to science. I3ofh were 

 obtained in the neighbourhood of Soutliport. 



Family Agelenidae. 



Genus Agelena, Walck. 



AgeJena longipes, sp. n. (Figs. 1-5.)

 a|'art, each lateral a diameter and a iialf from its neigh- 

 bouring central. Front lateral eyes of same size as hind 

 laterals, which they almost touch, each a diameter from 

 neighbouring front central. Front centrals larger than the 

 other eyes, half a diameter from each other, a diameter from 

 the hind centrals (figs. 2, 3).
