In Great Britain it ranges from Dorset northwards to Edinburgh, at 

 least, and on the Continent it is found in France, Germany, and 

 Hungary, though rare in the last-named country. 



Cluliona reclusa, Cb. 



C. holoserieea, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



Ulster, Connaught, Leinster, Munster. 



This is one of our commonest spiders, occurring abundantly in 

 ■woody places, from Antrim and Londonderry, to Dingle, Kenmare, 

 Skibbereen, and "Wexford ; from Howth, county of Dublin, to Round- 

 stone, county of Galway. I have no records, however, from the 

 ■western islets. Adult females are to be found in all months from 

 June to October; the only adult male I have seen was taken in 

 October. Egg-cocoons have been observed in July and Sej)tember, 

 and young specimens in October, April, and May. Erom these facts, 

 it seems likely that the young spiders hibernate and complete their 

 development in the ensuing year, while some adult females also sur- 

 vive through the winter. C. reclusa is common in Great Britain, and 

 ranges north at least to Braemar and Inverness. It is recorded from 

 northern and eastern Erance, Germany, Austria, and northern Hungary. 



Cluliona negle da, Cb. 



Ulster, Munster, Leinster. 



This rare spider is recorded by Mr. Workman from Islandmagee, 

 county of Antrim (1880). An adult male and immature female were 

 taken at Dingle, county of Kerry, by Mr. J. N. Halbert, collecting for 

 the E. I. A. Elora and Eauna Committee in May, 1895 ; he has also- 

 found adults of both sexes on the North Bull, Dublin Bay (August^ 

 1898), I captured a single adult female at Lismore, county of Water- 

 ford, in July, 1895, and an adult male at Grey stones, county of Wick- 

 low, in June, 1898. No British locality except Dorset is known for 

 this species. Abroad it occurs throughout Erance (Corsica), as also in 

 Spain, southern Germany, Austria, and Hungary. 



Clubiona lutescens, Westr. 



Ulster, Leinster. 



Probably a widely distributed spider in Ireland, but the only 

 localities with regard to which I can be certain are Armagh, Laytown, 

 county of Meath, and Dublin. Males and females are adult in May, 

 and an adult female has been taken in January. C. lutescens has 

 been noticed at various English localities from Dorset to Cumberland
