Gongylidiellum vivum (Cambr.). 



Neriene viva Cambr. (Spid. Dorset). 



Leinster. 



Two adult females taken in March, 1907, at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, are the 

 only Irish records of this spider. It is not a common species anywhere in 

 England, though it has been met with in several parts from Dorset to North- 

 umberland, where it was taken by Dr. A. Jackson. On the Continent 

 M. Simon records it from many places in France, and also from Germany. 



Gongylidium apicatum (BL). 



Neriene a^icata BL (Spid. G. B. and I.). 



Leinster. 



A single adult male taken at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, is the only Irish record 

 of this spider. In England and Scotland and on the Continent it seems to 

 be widely distributed, being recorded from Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the 

 Tyrol, Galicia, and Hungary (Simon). 



Gongylidium gibbosum (BL). 



Neriene gihbosa Bl. (Spid. G. B. and I.]. 



Leinster, Ulster. 



I have taken one adult male and several females at Fenagh, Co. Carlow. 

 I also met with a number of immature males in a bog near the same place in 

 July, 1907. A single female was also sent to me from Lough Gullion, Co. 

 Armagh, by Mr. H. L. Orr. This swamp-loving species is recorded from 

 several places in England, Wales, and Scotland, though it is not a common 

 spider. On the Continent it has been taken in France and Bavaria (Simon). 



Gongylidium tuberosum (BL). 



Neriene tuberosa Bl. (Spid. G. B. & I.). 



Leinster. 



A single adult female taken at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, Eev. 0. P. Cambridge 

 believes to be certainly this species ; but he says it is very difficult to 

 distinguish the females with certainty from G. gibhosum Bl. It has been 

 found both in Great Britain and on the Continent. 



Gongylidium agreste (BL). 

 Neriene agreste Bl. (Spid. G. B. & I.). 

 Leinster, Connaught. 



I have taken several adult males of this species, in March, at Fenagh, 

 Co. Carlow ; and I also took two adult males at Portmarnock, Co. Dublin, on
