by Mr. K. Welch. In Great Britain this spider has been recorded from 

 Dorset (Bloxworth), in the New Forest, and ranges as far north as Aberdeen- 

 shire (Braemar), Perthshire, and Inverness. On the Continent it is common 

 in fir-woods in many parts of France (Simon), and is recorded from a number 

 of places in Hungary (Kulcz.).

A male of this species was taken in Kerry, in June, 1902, and recorded 

 in the Irish Naturalist, in 1903, vol. xii., p. 69. This spider is common in the 

 south of England, and has a wide range on the Continent.

MUNSTEE. 



A single adult male of this species was taken at Cappoquin, Co. Water- 

 ford, in August, 1902, by Mr. J. J. F. X. King. It is not rare in parts of 

 England and Scotland ; and is found in many parts of France, all the Alps, 

 and Corsica (Simon).

An adult female spider sent to Professor Carpenter by Mr. J. J. Wolfe 

 from Skibbereen, Co. Cork, and recorded by him in his list as T. hibernica 

 Cambr., proved on re-examination to be referable to this species. Professor 

 Carpenter has since taken specimens of this species in Dublin. A gigantic 

 adult male also of this species was sent up to the museum in August, 1908, 

 from Limerick, by Mr. H. Fogerty. This spider seems to be local in England, 

 but very common in France.

Episinus lugubris Sim. 

 Leinster. 



I took a single adult female near Kilcarry Bridge, on the River 



Slaney, in July, 1907, which Mr. Cambridge says is certainly this species. 



Mr. Cambridge has only lately recognized this as a species distinct from U. 



tru7icatus Walck. (see Proceedings Dorset Natural History and Antiquarian 



Field Club, vol. xxvii., p. 72, 1906). He says the distribution of the two 



species is probably the same. On the Continent it has been taken in the 



south and west of France and in Hungary.
