so abundant. Localities range from Londonderry and Ballycastle, 

 county of Antrim, to Valentia Island, county of Kerry ; from Lublin 

 to Inishmore of Aran, Galway Bay. It occurs up to 2500 feet on the 

 Kerry mountains. Adults are to be found tbrougbout the year. This 

 spider is more southern and western in its distribution than the last, 

 having been found in Sweden, Belgium, France, and Spain, but 

 apparently not in Germany or Hungary, Z. %ehrinus (Menge) being 

 now recognised as a distinct form. In Great Britain, L. BlacTcwalUi 

 is generally distributed.

A single adult female was taken in Mitchelstown Cave, county of 

 Tipperary, July, 1895, by Mr. H. L. Jameson (1896), when collecting 

 for the Eoyal Irish Academy, Mora and Fauna Committee. It was 

 exhibited to the Dublin Microscopical Club (1896). In September, 

 1898, when collecting in the county of Kerry for the Flora and Fauna 

 Committee, I found another adult female at a height of 3200 feet on 

 the M'Gillicuddy's Eeeks. It is a very rare spider in Great Britain, the 

 type pair found by Mr. Cambridge at the roots of heather in Dorset 

 being the only specimens ever taken there. It is widely distributed in 

 France, inhabiting caves and other underground localities, as well 

 as dark woods ; and it has also been found near Hamburg, on the 

 Austrian mountains, and in caves in Bavaria.

This seems to be a scarce spider in Ireland. An adult male was 

 taken on Slieve Glah, county of Cavan, in October, 1893, by Mr. J. 

 IS". Halbert, when collecting for the Royal Irish Academy Flora and 

 Fauna Committee ; and in October of the next year, I captured 

 several males near Enuiskerry, county of "Wicklow. In Great Britain 

 this species is rare, though widespread (Dorset, Berwickshire, Inver- 

 ness), as also on the Continent (Iceland, Sweden, France, Prussia, 

 Bavaria, Carniola, Austria, Hungary).
