lata vary greatly in size and markings. Many females are small and 

 comparatiyely pale, with distinctly annulated legs. I have often 

 thought at first sight these must surely he referable to one of the 

 nearly allied apecies (P. riparia or P. prativaga), but in all cases the 

 structural characters are clearly those of P. pullata. It is probably 

 of universal distribution in Great Britain, but seems to be a northern 

 form on the Continent, extending from the extreme north of Norway 

 to France, Spain, northern Italy, central Eussia, and Hungary. 



Pardosa prativaga, Koch. 



Munster. 



The only Irish example of this spider which I have seen is an 

 adult male taken at Fiulough, county of Clare, in June, 1895, by 

 Mr. J. IS". Halbert. In Great Britain this seems a southern species 

 (Dorset, Sussex). Its foreign distribution resembles that of P. pul- 

 lata, except that in ]S"orway it only ranges to 63° IT. lat, 



Pardosa luguhris (Wick.). 



Lycom luguhris, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



Leinster. 



This spider is common in spring in the woods of county of "Wick- 

 low. Mr. D. W. Ereeman was the first to discover it, in the Yale of 

 Clara, and I have taken adults of both sexes (females with egg-bags) 

 in April and May, near Enniskerry and by the banks of Lough Tay. 

 At W^oodenbridge, in the Yale of Ovoca, I found numerous adult 

 females with egg-bags, some young spiders just hatched, and an im- 

 mature male in Sepitemler (1894). So far as I am aware an autumn 

 breeding-time for this species has not been previously noticed. Mr. 

 Halbert found this spider in Clonad "Wood, near Tullamore, King's 

 County, in May, 1895. It is a widespread species in Great Britain, 

 ranging north, at least, to the Grampians, while on the Continent it 

 extends from the far north of Norway and Eussia to Corsica and the 

 Adriatic coast. 



Pardosa amentata (Clerck). 



Lycosa saccata, Bl. (Spid. G. B. I.). 



"Ulster, Connaught, Munster, Leinster. 



This is one of the commonest of Irish spiders. It is spread over 

 the whole country from counties of Donegal, Derry, and Antrim (Fair 

 Head) to Wexford, Waterford, Cork (Glandore), and Kerry (Derry- 

 nane) ; from Howth, county of Dublin, to counties of Sligo, Mayo, 

 and Galway (Eoundstone in Connemara). I have no record, however,
