were found on tall heath in a "moss" near Forest Mill, 

 Clackmannanshire. One brood of young was brought home 

 and placed in a fern- case, where some of them lived till they 

 were a fair size. This, one of the largest of British spiders, 

 is common on heaths in the Highland districts of Scotland, 

 but it is evidently very local in this neighbourhood, and 

 we have pleasure in adding it to our list. 



[Hasarius adansonii (Sav.).] 



A ^ of this interesting Salticid was obtained from one of 

 the hot-houses at the Eoyal Botanic G-arden, Edinburgh, in 

 December 1904. [It was found on an orchid by my son, 

 W. Edgar Evans. — W. E.] In this country this South 

 European species probably lives only in green-houses, whence 

 it has frequently been recorded, though only once before from 

 Scotland, namely from plant-houses at Paisley in 1893 

 (Morris Young).

ADDITIONAL LOCALITIES FOE SPIDERS ALREADY 

 ON THE EDINBURGH LIST. 



By William Evans. 



I take this opportunity of placing on record the following 

 further localities in which I have recently met with some of 

 the rarer and less known spiders (Araneidea) recorded from 

 the Edinburgh district in previous papers by Professor 

 Carpenter and myself. As regards Phalangidea, the only 

 recent note worth mentioning is that three specimens of 

 Nemastoma chrysomelas (Herm.) were obtained on the Bonny- 

 toun Hills, Linglithgowshire, in August 1901. For further 

 records of Chernetidea in the district, see my notes in Ann. 

 Scot. Nat. Hist, 1901, pp. 53 and 241, and 1903, pp. 120 

 and 249.
