Lophocarenuni stramineum Menge. 



Leinster, 



Two adult males taken on Lambay, and recorded in the Irish Naturalist, 

 vol. xvi., p. 63, were the first record of this species in the British Isles. 

 Since then I took five adult males running on iron palings and posts, at 

 Fenagh, Co. Carlow, during a warm spell early in February, 1908. One 

 of these was, however, a dwarfed and deformed specimen. It has not yet 

 been taken in Great Britain, and is a rare spider, having only been found on 

 the Continent in Southern France, Prussia, and Denmark. 



Peponocranium ludicrum (Cambr.). 



Walckenaera hcdicra Bl. (Spid. G.B.I.). 



Leinster. 



A single female taken on the Hill of Howth, in September, 1908, is 

 the only Irish record of this spider, which as a rule frequents heathery 

 places, apparently never very far from the sea. In England it is found from 

 Dorset and Hampshire to Edinburgh, and also in the Isle of Man. M, Simon 

 records it from three or four places in Northern and "Western France, 

 where he says it is common amongst Gorse near the sea. 



Minyriolus pusillus (Wid.). 

 Walckenaera pusilla Cambr. (Spid. Dorset). 

 Leinster. 



Both sexes are to be found adult amongst moss and debris from January 

 to June, but not in any numbers. All my specimens have been taken at 

 the same spot, at Fenagh, Co. Carlow. It has a wide range in England and 

 on the Continent. 



Cnephalocotes obscurus (Bl.). 



Walckenaera obscura Bl. (Spid. G.B.I.) . 



Leinster, Ulster. 



I have taken both sexes of this spider adult, both in spring and autumn. 

 I have found it both at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, and at Bangor, Co. Down, where 

 I took it on the sand of the seashore, in company with C. cttrtus Sim. and 

 G. interjectus Cb. This is a rare spider in England, but is recorded from a 

 good many parts of France, and also from Belgium, Germany, and Sweden. 



Cnephalocotes interjectus (Cambr.). 



Ulster, Leinster. 



I took a number of adults of both sexes in December, 1907, amongst the 

 roots of grass, in a sheltered spot on the sand of the sea-shore, just above 

 high-water mark. They were in company with C. curtus Sim., C. obscurus
