94 NEW AND RARE SPIDERS. 



On the 16th of April, 1890, I found an adult female with its 

 white lenticular cocoon, in a crevice of an old log, in a swamp on 

 Bloxworth Heath. 



GEN : NERIENE Bl. 

 NERIENB NEFARIA. 



Neriene nefaria Cambr. Spid. Dors., p, 439. 



An adult female occurred among dead leaves and grass in 

 Bere Wood, on the 2nd of October, 1889. The only previously 

 recorded example was one of the same sex, found near Weymouth, 

 July 2nd, 1879 (I.e. supra, but there given by mistake as a male). 



GEN : WALCKENAERA (Bl.) 



WALCKENAERA PRATENSIS. 



Walckenaera prat ensis Bl., Cambr. Spid. Dors., p. 202, and Proc. 

 Dors. N H. and A. F. Club, 1889, vol. x., p. 119. 



An adult male of this spider was taken in Wicken Fen, 

 Cambridgeshire, by the Rev. F. 0. P. Cambridge, in 1889. 



WALCKENAERA SAXICOLA. 



Walckeniiera saxicola Cambr., Spid. Dors., pp. 145 578. 



Adults of both sexes of this local and rare spider were found 

 under pieces of rock and stone, near Pennsylvannia Castle, Port- 

 land, on the 31st of May, 1890. 



WALCKENAERA IGNOBILIS. 



Walckenaera ignobilis Cambr., Spid. Dors., p. 155. 



This, which is one of the smallest known spiders, seems also to 

 be among the rarest. One (an adult male) was found at the roots 

 of coarse grasses in a swamp, near Bloxworth, on the 3rd of 

 April, 1890. In this locality I had found several just after the 

 publication of "Spid. Dors.," about 1882, but, though frequently 

 working the same spot, have not seen it since until April, 1890.
