NEW AND RARE SPIDERS. 95 



On the 9th of November, 1889, I found again examples of this 

 rare spider (an adult male and females) in the original locality, 

 near Bloxworth, among moss. 



FAM: EPEIRID^E. 



GEN: EPEIRA (Walck). 



EPEIRA ANGULATA, fig. 2. 



Epeira angulata Clerck, Cambr., Spid. Dors. 270. 

 A fine example of the adult female of this spider was sent to me 

 from Bovey Tracy, Devonshire, by Miss Lilian Gould, by whom it 

 was found in its geometric snare in a furze bush in August, 1890 

 The only previously recorded localities for this species were 

 Bloxworth and Morden Heaths, Dorset, and near Ringwood, Hants. 

 The adult male has not yet been found in Britain. 



EPEIRA SCLOPETARIA.

An example of this very local species was found near Chickerell 

 in May, 1890, by Mr. Nelson M. Richardson, of Monte Video, near 

 Wey mouth. It appears to be very scarce in this county I have 

 only met with it myself on one occasion (near Bloxworth) many 

 years ago. It is abundant near Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, and in 

 some other parts of England. 



EPEIRA PATAGIATA.

During the past year (1890) this spider has been found in some 

 abundance by my nephew (Rev. Fredk. 0. P. Cambridge) in 

 the neighbourhood of Carlisle.
