Lycosa deeipiens, L. Koch. Fig. n. 



Lycosa deeipiens, L. Koch, XLI., Jahrbuche der K. K. 

 Gelehrten Gesellschaft in Krakavv, p. 33, 1870. 



An adult female of this spider, new to Britain, was sent 

 to me in 1903 from near Stratford-on-Avon by the Rev. J. 

 H. Bloom, Rector of Whitchurch. See postea, p. 168. 



Fam. SALTICID^. 

 Hyctia Nivoyi, Luc. 



An adult female of this rare and local spider was sent to 

 me by Mr. H. Donisthorpe, by whom it was found on the 

 sandhills at Deal in 1903. 



AttUS saltatOF, Cambr. 



Both sexes received from ]\Ir. H. Donisthorpe in 1903 

 from the Deal sandhills. 



Euophpys petrensis, C. L. Koch. 



This very distinct and active little spider was found in 

 some abundance in Cumberland at an altitude of 2,500 feet 

 by Dr. A. R. Jackson in 1902. The examples were all 

 larger than those of the same species occurring on our 

 sandy heaths at an elevation not much above the sea coast 

 Hne. Its occurrence so far north and at so considerable an 

 altitude in this country seems remarkable. M. Simon, 

 however, in his Arachnides de France gives " Hautes 

 Alpes " as one of its stations. 



Euophpys sequipes, Cambr. 



An adult male and female of this pretty species occurred 

 at Bloxworth Rectory on the columns of the Rectory porch 

 in June, 1902. A similar occurrence is recorded in June, 

 1900 (Proc. Dors. N.H. and A.F. Club, XXIII., p. 29, 

 1902). 



Hasarius arcuatus, Clk. 



An adult male taken in the New Forest in 1902 was sent 

 to me, among other spiders, by Mr. Claude Morley in iqo3.
