Eev. 0. P. Cambridge has taken it at Bloxworth, Dorset, and Dr. A. R. Jackson, 

 one female in Glamorgan, Wales. In France, M. Simon records it from only 

 two localities, where he says it is very rare. It does not seem to have been 

 found elsewhere on the Continent. 



Tmeticus scopiger (Griibe). 



Linypliia rufa Westr. Cambr. (Spid. Dorset). 



Leinster. 



I took a single adult male, in September, at Fenagh, Co. Carlo w. 

 In England it is found chiefly in the north, the only southern locality being 

 Glamorgan, Wales, where it was taken commonly by Dr. A. R. Jackson, also 

 in September. On the Continent it is found in Sweden, Prussia, and Siberia ; 

 while M. Simon records it from only a single locality in France. 



Hilaira excisa (Cambr.). 



Neriene excisa Cambr. (Spid. Dorset). 



Ulster. 



An adult pair of this swamp-loving species were taken at Marble 



Arch, Enniskillen, by Mr. E. Welch, in 1900. In England, Dr. A. E. 



Jackson records it from Glamorgan, Wales ; while it has been found also in 



Dorset, Yorkshire, Durham, and Berwick. It is a very rare spider in France, 



being only recorded from two localities, where it inhabits thick moss in 



woods (Simon). It does not seem to have been found elsewhere on the 



Continent. 



Porrhomma errans (BL), 



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



Leinster. 



I have taken seven adult females of this species, at Fenagh, Co. Carlow, 

 on iron railings and posts in the spring. In the Irish NoMtralist, vol. xvi., 

 p. 63, I recorded two males taken on Lambay, by Mr. E. LI. Praeger, 

 at Easter, 1906, as of this species. Dr. A. E. Jackson pointed out to me, 

 however, that these two specimens, which he kindly examined, were in- 

 correctly named, as they were wanting in the metatarsal spine, which is so 

 distinctive of this species. The Lambay specimens proved to be the nearly 

 allied species P. microplithalma. Cambr. 



The true P. errans is l)y no means a common spider ; tliough Mr. 

 F. 0. P. Cambridge found a good many females amongst the collections he 

 examined, there was only one male. (F. 0. P. C, Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist., 

 series 6, vol. xiii., p. 94). Mr. P)lackwall records it from N. Wales and South 

 Lancashire. M. Simon records J\ crroMS Bl. from France ; but as he does not 

 jnention the metatarsal spine, tlie identity of his species would seem to be
