Yorkshire Naturalists at Malham. 335 



latus Camb., was originally found by Mr. James Hardy on the 

 Cheviots in North Northumberland in 1871, and recorded by 

 the Rev. O. Pickard-Cambridge in the ' Trans. Linucean Society,' 

 Vol. XXVIII. , under the name of L. angulipalpis Westr. Until 

 Te-discovered by the Rev. J. E. Hull in the south of the same 

 county in 1907, at an elevation of 1400 feet (the female was new 

 to science), it was represented only b}' the type male. Dr. A. 

 Randell Jackson met with a female on the summit of Bow Fell, 

 Cumberland, August 1903, at an elevation of 2960 feet, but 

 was not aware of its identity at the time. Its present discovery 

 at an elevation of 1250 feet thus greatly enlarges its known 

 distributional range. The other, of which I obtained one male 

 and two females, Entelecara trifrons Camb., has previously 

 been taken in Dorset, Norfolk, Cumberland, Northumberland, 

 Mid-Lothian and Ireland. Quite recently (in June), I named 

 males of this species collected at Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire 

 by Messrs. Stainforth and Parsons of Hull. Considerable time 

 was spent in the neighbourhood of Janet's Fall, the adjacent 

 rocks and wood being well searched. The most plentiful spider 

 here was Diplocephahis cristatus Bl., which frequented the 

 bark of both living and dead trees ; the most noteworthy, 

 Oonops pulcher Tempi., Linyphia hortensis Sund., Trneticus 

 ahnormis Bl., Microneta conigera Camb., and Diplocephahis 

 latifrons Camb. Except at the Tarn, very few spiders were 

 seen along the remainder of the route, but in Goredale, Cluhiona 

 diver sa Camb., one male, and Metopobactrus prominulns Camb., 

 one female, occurred ; and near the Cove, Minyriohis pusillus 

 Wid., one female. It was in damp ground on the shores of the 

 Tarn itself (the enclosed part) that the two new Yorkshire 

 species were obtained. It is a matter for regret that more time 

 could not be spent here, as doubtless further and closer search 

 would result in the capture of other rarities. It is to be hoped 

 that someone to whom the locality is more accessible will 

 devote some time to its investigation. Examples of the 

 Lycosids and the male Tarentida pidveridenta Clerck. were 

 handed in by Messrs. Beanland, Haigh, Lumb and Jowett. 

 Of allied forms, the common pseudoscorpion, Obisium musconim 

 Leach, was several times observed, and the harvestman, 

 Oligolophus alpinus Herbst. was frequent along the whole 

 route. It is probable that 0. cinerascens C. L. Koch, is merely 

 the young of this species which is itself merely an Alpine form 

 of the common 0. morio Fabr. Young examples, probably of 



1910 Sept. I.
