Hahnia montana Bl. 

 I took an immature male, probably of this species, on Clare Island in July, 

 1909, and a mature female on the slopes of Croaghpatrick in September, 1911. 

 It has been found in only three other places in Ireland. 



Enoplognatha thoracica Hahn. 

 Six females of this species were found in various parts of Clare Island in 

 June and July. It has been taken in ten places in Ireland previously, all 

 near the coast. In England it seems to be a rare spider, having been found 

 in two or three places only. 



Peponocranium ludicrum Camb. 

 I found a single mature female of this spider amongst heather near 

 Delphi, Co. Mayo, in September, 1911. This, with another female taken on 

 the Hill of Howth in September, 1908, are the only records of its occurrence 

 in Ireland. 



Cnephalocotes curtus Simon. 



Professor Carpenter records this rare species from the north-eastern shore 

 of Achill. The only other known locality in Ireland is Bangor, Co. Down. 



Ceratinella brevipes West. 

 A single female of this spider was taken by Mr. H. Wallis Kew on Clare 

 Island in June, 1910. The only other localities where it has been found in 

 Ireland are Fenagh, Co. Carlow, and on the Ulster Canal near Monaghan. 

 It was taken in the latter locality by Mr. E. Welch in October, 1909. 



Lophomma subaequale West. 

 I found two males of this rare spider on Clare Island in July, 1909, on the 

 southern slopes. A single male had been taken previously by Mr. J. N. 

 Halbert at Terenure, Co. Dublin, and was recorded by Prof. Carpenter in his 

 " List of the Spiders of Ireland " as Tapinocyba subaequalis West. I have since 

 taken a female at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, while in England it has occurred in 

 Hampshire only, and on the Continent in Sweden only. 



Walckenaera nudipalpis West. 

 A single female of this rare spider was taken on the summit of Croagh- 

 more on Clare Island, in May, 1909, by Mr. R LI. Praeger. Prof. Carpenter 

 records it for four localities in Ireland, one being at a height of 3,000 feet on 

 McGillicuddy's Peeks, and I have since received a single specimen from 

 Belfast, taken by Mr. H. L. Orr. 



Walckenaera acuminata Bl. 

 Females of this species were taken on Clare Island from April to July. It 

 has not occurred before in the province of Connaught, though widely 

 distributed in other parts of Ireland.
