Tmeticus sylvaticus (BI.). 
Neriene sylvatica, Bl. Spid. Great Brit. and Irel., and Cambr. Spid. Dorset. 
Widely distributed, but far from common. Seems to be 
essentially an autumn spider.

Tmeticus prudens (Cb.). 
Linyphia prudens, Cambr, Spid. Dorset. 
An adult male—which Mr Cambridge has identified—of 
this rare spider was found on the Pentlands, beneath a stone 
lying close to the wall at the top of the pass between 
Carnethy and Scaldlaw, on 17th Oct. 1893. The species 
was obtained in Berwickshire by Dr Hardy about twenty 
years ago. It occurs in Dorset and on the French shores of 
the Mediterranean. 
Microneta fuscipalpis (C. L. K.), Ob. 
Neriene flavipes + N. gracilis, Bl. Spid. Great Brit. and Irel. 
Neriene fuscipalpis, Cambr. Spid. Dorset. 
Microneta rurestris, C. L. K. (fide Simon),* 
Generally distributed and common. Adults practically 
throughout the year, but most abundant in spring and 
autumn. 
Braids, Craiglockhart, etc., Feb., gs and 2s; Caerketton, Currie Moor, 
and summit of Carnethy (Pentlands), under stones, March, numerous gs 
1M. Simon believes that M/. fuscipalpis, C. L. K., is another species. On 
this we can form no opinion, but prefer to follow the specific nemenclature 
of Mr Cambridge. ot a2
