204 Falconer: The Spiders of Wicken, Cambridge. 
Erigone dentipalpis Wid. Many of both sexes from various 
parts of fen, the Drove and the Drive. 
Erigone graminicola Sund. A female from the fen, June, 
1912 (Dr. A. R. Jackson), but not determined until later. 
Lophocarenum nemorale Bl. Three females from an old 
heap in Edmund Fen. 
Cnephalocotes elegans Camb. An adult male from the 
left of the fen, June, 1914. Once considered a very rare spider, 
but recently it has been met with in several Northern localities, 
and in a few of them more or less freely. 
Wideria melanocephala Cambr. An adult male from a heap 
of sedge litter in the Drove, June, 1914. A rare spider previously 
recorded for Dorset, the New Forest, Delamere Forest (Cheshire) 
and Carlow, Ireland. 
Ceratinella brevipes Westr. A female from the left of the 
fen, and one of each sex from heaps in the Drove. 
Epeiva diademata Clerck. In the garden of the Sycamores. 
Epeiva adianta Walck. Several males and females were 
presented to me some years ago by Mr. F. P. Smith, for whom 
they were collected by an old pensioner, now dead, who stated 
they had been taken in Wicken fen. It is very strange, how- 
ever, that such a striking spider should not have been noticed 
by any subsequent observer, and it is quite probable that an 
error has been made. 
Oxyptila praticola C. L. Koch. An adult male from a heap 
in the Drove (June, 1914). Widely distributed in England, 
rare in Ireland, but not yet noted for Scotland. 
Pirata hygrophilus Thor. Four females from various parts. 
of the fen. 
Salticus scenicus Clerck. Both sexes on the walls of a house 
in the village. 
Hyctia niwvoyt Luc. ‘Spiders of Dorset,’ p. 560; an im- 
mature female. A very unmistakeable spider, usually fre- 
quenting coast sandhills, but local in its distribution, Pee in 
England most often met with on the south coast. 
(To be continued).

We regret to notice the death of Mr. Joseph Horsfall Turner, of Idle, 
at the age of 70. In one way or another Mr. Turner has published an 
enormous amount of matter relating to the antiquities of Yorkshire, 
including a number of magazines, etc., such as ‘ Yorkshire Notes and 
Queries,’ and ‘ The Yorkshire Genealogist.’ 
The Lord Mayor of Newcastle (Alderman Fitzgerald) presided at a 
representative meeting in Newcastle recently to consider the invitation 
given last year to the British Association to visit Newcastle in 1916. 
Principal Hadow said that if the war were not over the business would 
—as at the Manchester meeting this year—consist entirely of scientific 
papers and the interchange of scientific thought.
