GEN : DRASSUS (Walck.) 



D. stjlvestris (Bl., Cambr.), " Spid. Dors.," p. 460. 



Drasstis infuscatus Westr. and Cambr., " Spid. Dors.," p. 423, 

 and " Proc : Dors. N. H. and A. F. Club " vi., p. 2. 



Adults of both sexes not rare among dead leaves in Berewood in 

 May and June, 1888. 



Drassus troglodytes C. L. Koch., Cambr., "Spid. Dors.," p. 17. 



Dr. Blackmore sent me an example of this spider, found near 

 Salisbury in 1888. It still continues to be a rare spider, though it 

 is very widely distributed, I have received single examples of it 

 from several other parts of England since the publication of 

 "Spiders of Dorset" in 1879. 



GEN : LIOCRANUM (L. Koch.) 



Liocranum domesticum Wider., Cambr., " Spid. Dors.," p. 38. 



Passing along St. Catherine Street, Salisbury, one day in April, 

 1886, I met with a fine adult male of this rare and local spider 

 crossing the pavement opposite the "White Hart" Hotel, and in 

 the same month in 1887 I found several immature examples of it 

 in a garden in the " Close." Dr. Blackmore has also sent it to me 

 from his own premises. 



FAM : DICTYNID^E. 

 GEN : LETHIA (Menge). 



Letlda albispiraculis Cambr., " Spid. Dors.," p. 53. 



I have found this spider again, in 1887 and 1888, near the Chesil 

 Beach, Portland, but very rarely, owing (for one reason) to the 

 extreme difficulty in seeing and capturing them among the loose 

 stones, pebbles, friable earth, and triturated seaweed, among which 

 they live. The male resembles the female in colours and markings, 

 being, however, often of a darker hue. 



FAM: AGELENID.E. 

 GEN: TEGENARIA (Latr.) 



Tegenaria cinerea Panz., Cambr., " Spid. Dors.," p. 65. 

 Dr. Blackmore sent me an example of this spider from Salisbury
