 but the second known examx^le. 



Neriene laudata, Camhr., Walckenaera laudata, Cambr., 

 Spiders of Dorset, x) 591. 



I have again (June and July, 1881) found this species on 

 Bloxworth Heath; and more recently (July 4th, 1882) a single 

 example on the doorsteps of Bloxworth Eectory. I am now, on 

 further examination, led to remove it from the genus Walck- 

 enaera and place it in Neriene, to which it a^^pears to be more 

 nearly allied in several respects. 



Walckenaera diceros, Camlr, Spiders of Dorset, p, 145, pi. 

 iii., fig. 6. 



I met with an adult male of this exceedingly minute and rare 

 species (after having lost sight of it for more than 12 7 ears) 

 among herbage by the riverside at Hyde, near Bloxworth, on 

 AprU 14th, 1881. 



Walckenaera melanocephala, Camlr., Spiders of Dorset, p. 



596, Ann. and Mag., N.H., 1882, p. 8, 



pi. iii., fig. 5. 

 I have again (July 24th, 1881) found this rare and striking 

 species, which Mons. Simon has very recently described from 

 French specimens under the name of Erigonc glapliijra (Bull. 

 Zool. Soc. France, 1881, Vol. vi.) 



Walckenaera subitanea, Camlr., Spiders of Dorset, pp. 144 and 

 445. 



An adult male of this minute and rare species found among 

 debris in an outhouse at Bloxworth Eectory, May 30th, 1882. 



Linyphia experta, Camlr., Spiders of Dorset, j). 203. 



One exami)le only had been before met with in this county. I 

 was, therefore, pleased to find it in some abundance in a swamp 

 near Bloxworth, in November, 1881.
