30 PICKARD.CAMBRIDGE: ARANEIDEA OF CUMBERLAND, ETC. 
Another list was contributed by Mr. H.C. Young, of Glasgow, 
to the ‘Proceedings of the Glasgow Nat. Hist. Society,” vols. iii. 
and iv. (Mr. Young’s collection, or a portion of it, is now in the 
Museum of the bioaaabai of Glasgow, where I had the pleasure of 
seeing it in January, 1 
The fifth list was published in 1878, by Prof. J. W. H. Traill: 
‘A List of Araneidea : Ft of Dee” Trans. Nat. Hist. Soc. of 
Aberdeen, 1878, p. 48. Other notices by Mr. Traill appeared 
in the pages of fe Scottish Naturalist, vol. 11, pp. 23-25 and 
Pp. 300. 
Lastly, we have before us a most valuable list of the Avanetdea 
collected in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh by Mr. W. Evans, 
F.R.S.E., published in the year 1894, by Messrs. G. H. Carpenter, 
B.Sc., of Dublin, and W. Evans, F.R.S.E., of Edinburgh. ‘A Zis¢ 
of Spiders (Aranetdea) collected in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. 
Proc. Roy. Physical Soc. of Edinburgh, vol. xii., pp. 527-590; with 
appendix and plate. The treatment of the subject-matter in this 
work is everything that can be desired, and although I have not 
myself leisure for records so accurate and elaborate, yet one would 
urge on those who may in this matter be more fortunate, the 
extreme value of accurate records of dates, stages of maturity, and 
localities, such as we are presented with in this highly readable 
little pamphlet. 
Since, however, we are not dealing directly with the Fauna of 
Scotland, I must confine myself to the records contained in the 
Berwickshire and Northumberland List, and of these, those only 
which refer to the latter County alone. 
In this List we find out of the 145 species recorded 32 
which have not, so far as I am aware, been taken in the district 
west of the Pennines of which we here treat; and their names will 
be found below. 
For the arachnologist, as well as for the general naturalist, 
Cumberland and the Lake District, including, of course, West- 
morland, form an area which can be roughly divided into several 
regions distinguished by well-marked characteristics. 
Embracing the whole district, bounded by the Solway Firth, the 
rivers Esk and Liddle on the north, the Pennine Hills, including 
Christenbury Crags, Bewcastle Fells, Cross-Fell and Mickell-Fell 
on the east and south-east, Morecambe Bay on the south and the 
Irish Sea on the west, we find an area of extreme diversity of physical 
characters, and one which is, with few exceptions, perhaps none, the 
most interesting district in Great Britain, whether for the tourist, 
the artist, or the naturalist.
