1 78 ox XE-\\' AND RARE BRITISH ARACHMDA. 



Typhocrcstiis digi/a/iis, Cambr., Simon Araneides de 

 France, Vol. v., p. 584, sed 

 not T. dorsuosus, Sim. 



Owing to the temporary loss of the type of Erigone 

 digitaia, Cambr., I had no opportunity to compare it with 

 the spider which I described three years later as a distinct 

 species under the name Erigone dorsiwsa, Cambr. Subse- 

 quently examples found in England and Scotland were 

 relegated, some to one, some to the other, of these two 

 supposed species ; but more recently, having again found 

 the lost type of E. digi/ata, a careful comparison of it with 

 that of E. dorsuosus convinced me of their identity. A slight 

 variation in the form and convexity of the caput mainly led 

 at first to their separation. 



Typhocrcstus dorsuosus, Sim., Araneides de France, Vol. v., 

 p. 586, is quite a different species. I\I. Simon most 

 probably had two species mixed when he sent me the 

 example which I described as E. dorsuosus, and which, as 

 the type of the species, I still possess. At any rate the 

 spider he describes and figures I.e. is evidently totally 

 different from mine, and quite unknown to me. 



Although I have long possessed the females of 

 Typhocrcstus digitatus, it has only recently teen figured by 

 Dr. Jackson, see Trans. Nat. Hist. Soc. in Northumberland 

 as before quoted. For figure of this sex see PI. A., 

 Fig. 25. 



The female described by M. Simon, I.e. is not, I think, 

 that of this species. An example of this sex received 

 from Nuremberg (Dr. L. Koch) is identical with my British 

 specimens. An example of the female found by Dr. A. R. 

 Jackson at Portland in June, 1907, is its first record as a 

 Dorset spider. 



Entelecara Jacksonii, Cambr. 



An adult male received from Dr. A. R. Jackson, by whom 

 it was found at Delamere in 1907.
