YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS AT HAMBLETON, 
NEAR SELBY. 
(Continued from page 266). 
ARACHNIDA.—Mr. W. Falconer writes :—The advantage of 
a more restricted area than usual for investigation was more 
than counterbalanced by the exceeding dryness, and lack of 
depth of débris on the ground. The latter situation produced 
very little, and collecting was therefore mainly confined to 
beating and sweeping. Generally speaking, spiders were not 
plentiful ; no false scorpion was seen, and only two mites, one 
of which, Anystis baccarum Linn., was fairly abundant. Of the 
three Epeirids mentioned in the circular, two were again met 
with, quadrata being the absentee, but in its place Epeiva 
sturmit Hahn., a recently discriminated British spider, was 
beaten from a fir-tree. Many immature examples and one 
well-grown 92 of Epeira pyramidata Clerck, were obtained, as 
also were a few spiders for which additional county records are 
desirable, viz., Theridion varians Hahn., T. vittatum Koch., 
T. bimaculatum Linn., Entelecara acuminata Wid., Styloctetor 
pbenicillatus Westr. and Salticus cingulatus Panz. 
Dr. Fordham and Mr. Stainforth assisted in the collecting.
