 summer. 



Tribe Senoculina.— Family Dysderid^. 



Dysdera erythrina, Walck. (Zool. 6501). Very rare, under stones, 

 Bloxworth Heath. This species seems to be almost exclusively a 

 coast one, as it is very common under stones at Portland. 



Segestria senoculata, Walck. (Zool. 6501). Frequent at Calke Abbey, 

 under bark of decaying trees and under stones. Occasional at Port- 

 land, under stones ; adult in May and June. 



Oonops pulcher, Templeton (Zool. 6502). Occasional, under stones, 

 Portland. One male adult, in October,
