4 NOTES ON BRITISH SPIDERS. 



Lastly, from my son, Arthur \V. Pickard-Cambridge, I received 

 a small but valuable collection from Scotland, some of them 

 found at Dunlugas, Banffshire, and others at Crawford, Lanark- 

 shire, in September last. In the Crawford Collection is a new 

 and distinct little spider, Cnephalocotes fuscus. Mr. G. H. Carpenter 

 records (in "Irish Naturalist," Vol. VII., July, 1898, p. 164) a 

 remarkable little spider from the Slieve Donard Mountains, 

 Ireland. This Mr. Carpenter believes to be the JErigone broccha 

 of L. Koch. I have not had an opportunity of examining it, but 

 from Mr. Carpenter's figures and description I should think it 

 was of a different species from the one named, and also different 

 from the species M. Simon has described in his " Araneides de 

 France," as E. broccha, L. Koch, types of which received from 

 Dr. L. Koch, are in my possession. In the list appended will be 

 found also the records of a second example of a very distinct 

 spider, Tmeticus fortunatus, Cambr. A somewhat curious coinci- 

 dence is connected with this second specimen ; I found it on the 

 pillar of the porch of my front door on the 2yth of May, 1898, 

 being the exact day on which three years before (1895) tne first 

 example was found among waterweeds in the Marsh of the 

 Estuary below Wareham (see Proc. Dors. N. H. and A. F. Club, 

 XVI., p. 123, pi. A., fig. 6).
