Harpactes hombergii (Scop.). 
Dysdera hombergit, Bl, Spid. Great Brit. and Irel. 
Locally not uncommon, but not yet detected far inland. 
While the majority probably breed about the beginning of 
summer, others appear not to reach maturity till much later 
in the year. 
Blackford Hill, Dec., adnlt és and ¢s; Do., March, several 9s; 
Aberdour, April, ? ad., others of both sexes immature; Arthur’s Seat, 
April and May, gs and 9s, some of each ad.; Morningside, June, ad. ¢ ; 
Braid Hills, August, two half-grown ; Isle of May, August, g and two 9s. 
Segestria senoculata (L.). 
Everywhere common from the coast to the most inland 
localities, hiding in crevices of rocks and walls, among loose 
stones, and less frequently under the bark of old trees: 
hibernates in its snug silken cell: females, as is so frequently 
the case in this group, much oftener met with than males, 
and probably much longer lived. According to Blackwall, 
this spider lays its eggs in May or June, takes two years 
to reach maturity, and has been known to live four years. 
As we find very young individuals during winter, it would 
seem that the eggs do not hatch for several months after 
they are laid.

to a few full grown; Blackford Hill, Feb., one ¢ and afew ¢sad., many

gs and numerous ?s, both ad. and imm.; Bridge of Allan, Dec., a full-

Oonops pulcher, Templ. 
This minute spider is widely but rather sparingly dis- 
tributed. The majority probably, pair in spring and summer ;
