has collected it at several localities in county of Armagli (Lowry's 

 Longh, Loughgilby, Clonmacate, near Lough ISTeagh) ; Mr. "W. F. 

 de V. Kane, near Monaghan ; Mr. E. Welch, at Downpatrick, and at 

 a height of 1100 feet on the Mourne Mountains, county of Down ; 

 and Mr. H. L. Jameson on Eraganstown Bog, county of Louth. Mr. D. 

 W. Preeman has taken it at Blanchardstowu, county of Dublin ; and 

 a specimen from the Eoyal Canal, near Dublin, is in the collection 

 of the late Dr. Templeton. In Great Britain A. aquatica ranges 

 north at least to the Grampians. On the Continent it is recorded 

 from Lapland, Sweden, noi'thern France, Germany, Austria, Bohemia, 

 Hungary, Croatia, and northern Italy. 



Tegenaria parietina (Fourc).

This spider is very rare in Ireland, and from the places where it 

 has been taken can only be considered as doubtfully native. An adult 

 male was found iu a house at Greystones, county of Wicklow, by Mr. 



F. Wynne, in August, 1883. Another adult male was discovered in 

 Guinness's Brewery, Dublin, in 1896 ; the finder sent it to Professor 



G. y. Hart, who kindly gave it to the Museum. In Great Britain 

 this species seems confined to the south of England (Dorset, London, 

 Oxford, Cambridge). In France it inhabits dwelling-houses in the 

 north, and lives in the open air in the south. It is distributed 

 throughout southern Europe and northern Africa, extending to the 

 Azores and Canaries. 



Tegenaria domestica (Clerck). 



T. eivilis, Bl. (Spid. G. B. L). 



T. Lerhamii, Cb. (Spid. Dorset). 



Ulster, Connaught, Munster, Leinster. 



Apparently much commoner in the north and east of Ireland than 

 in the south and west. Eathlin Island, county of Antrim ; Belfast 

 and neighbourhood ("Workman) ; county of Donegal (Letterkenny, 

 Coolmore, and Bogay) ; Enniskillen ; Omagh ; Londonderry ; county 

 of Armagh (Armagh, Loughgilly, and Poyntzpass) ; county of Sligo 

 (Ballymote) ; Galway ; county of Cork (Skibbereen). Common in 

 Dublin and neighbourhood, and occurs in county of Wicklow. Though 

 generally found in houses, it is not confined to them; I have taken a 

 specimen under stones on Ireland's Eye (off Howth, county of Dublin), 

 which is now uninhabited. Adults occur from May till September.
