Crypheeca sylvicola (C. L. Koch). 
Tegenaria sylvicola, Bl. Spid. Great Brit. and Irel. 
Widely distributed and common, especially in sub-alpine 
districts, where any number of specimens may be obtained 
under loose stones on the tops of old walls. Adults of both 
sexes from autumn to spring.

Tegenaria derhamii (Scop. ). 
Tegenaria civilis, Bl. Spid. Great Brit. and Irel. 
This, the common house-spider, is, it need hardly be said, 
a generally distributed and abundant species, inhabiting 
dwelling-houses and other buildings. On two occasions only 
have we met with it out of doors, namely, on Salisbury Crags 
in April, and on the Isle of May in August—in each instance 
a single specimen under stones. Adults probably occur 
throughout the year; we have noted them in spring, autumn, 
and winter. 
Textrix denticulata (Oliv.). 
Textriz lycosina, Bl. Spid. Great Brit. and Irel. 
Generally distributed and very common on the hills as 
well as on the plains. Every locality examined—the Isle of 
May included—has yielded it. Hibernates under stones, 
ete, in a silken cell. Adults and immature examples 
observed at all seasons; very young examples noted in 
December and January, also in June and August. M. Simon 
mentions only the summer breeding-time. 
Hahnia elegans (Bl.). 
Agelena elegans, Bl. Spid. Great Brit. and Irel. 
Rare, the only examples we have met with being a few 
taken near Kilconquhar in Fife last September, as noted
