 young individuals in July. It is widely distributed in Great Britain 

 (Dorset, Grampians), and inhabits Belgium, northern and eastern

Oxyptila praticola (Koch). 



Tliomisus incertus, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



Munster, Leinster. 



An adult female, which I captured, August, 1895, in the woods at 

 Braganstown, county of Louth (Dublin jSTat. F. C, 1895), and another 

 female, taken by llr. Halbert near Dingle, county of Kerry, in May, 

 1894, are the only examples of this species yet found in L-eland. It 

 is widely distributed in England (Dorset, Yorkshire), and inhabits 

 southern ISTorway and Sweden, Belgium, north-eastern France, Ger- 

 many, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, and northern Italy. 



Oxyptila flexa, Cb. 



Leinster. 



A single male of this spider was taken by Mr. J. N. Halbert at 

 Santry, county of Dublin, in May, 1894. Believing that the species 

 was new to the British Isles, I sent it to Mr. Cambridge, who informed 

 me that it was identical with English specimens which he was then 

 in the act of describing (1895). 0. flexa has been found in Durham, 

 Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire, and Kent. As yet it does not seem to 

 have been recognised on the Continent. In May, 1895, Mr. Halbert 

 found another male at Portmarnock, county of Dublin. 



Oxyptila horticola (Koch). 



TJiomisus versutus and T. palUdus, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



Xysticus atomaria, Cb. (Spid. Dorset). 



Xrister, Connaught, Munster, Leinster. 



This is a widespread species in Ireland, but appears to be scarcer 

 than 0. trux. It is recorded by Mr. Workman (1880) fi'om Colin 

 Glen, county of Antrim, and I have seen specimens from Londonderry ; 

 county of Galway (Eoundstone and Inishmore, Aran) ; county of 

 Kerry (Dingle and Parknasilla) ; and Drogheda. Adult males and
