XIV.—Notes on British Spiders, with Descriptions of some 
new Species. By the Rev. O. P. CamsBringe, M.A., 
C.M.Z.8., &e. 
[Plate XI] 
My last communication on British spiders was made two years 
ago (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1875, xvi. pp. 237-260, pl. 
viil.). Since that time numerous other avocations have pre- 
vented any very extended researches in British arachnology. 
The results, however, of my own observations, and of the kind 
help of some other naturalists, are subjoined. From these 
results I have now to record five species supposed to be new 
to science, and five others previously described, but only dis- 
covered in Great Britain during the last two years. Ten species 
are thus added to our list of indigenous spiders, which now 
reaches a total of 484 species. Details of all these additions 
will be found below, as well as some rectifications of syno- 
nymy, with observations on habits and other points conceived 
to be of interest to araneologists, both in respect to the new 
additions and to some other species also. 
In the communication mentioned above, I remarked upon 
the very scanty materials extant for any list or history of Irish 
spiders; and an appeal was made to Ivish naturalists to collect 
and send me spiders from Ireland. I have had one kind 
response to this from Mr. T. Workman of Belfast, who has 
sent me a good many spiders during the last year, all of them, 
however, belonging to species already known, and one only 
being of any rarity —Drepanodus albipunctatus, Cambr. (vide
