Fam. EPEIRID#. 
a clerkii Sund. Solway, Eden Valley, and Lake 
Abundant amongst grass on the shores of the Solway 
in oc radii state in September. 
a degeerii Sund. Eden Valley and Lake District. 
Pachygnatha listeri Sund. Eden Valley. Rare. A few 
pecimens of the female sex amongst dead leaves at Arma- 
eligi. April. 
Tetragnatha pinicola L.K. Solway Moss. A single adult male 
of this small species was taken on some shrubs of sweet-gale. 
Out of the five species of Zetragnatha recorded from the British 
Islands, one only has been found in the Lakes. The apparent 
scarcity of members of this genus is due probably in a great 
measure to lack of careful and diligent collecting. 
Meta merianz Scop. Eden Valley. Abundant in cellars at 
Rockcliffe ; and also under all the overhanging rocks and steep 
damp banks throughout the district. Wetheral, Carlisle, ete. 
Meta segmentata Clk. Eden Valley, Solway, and Lake Districts. 
Abundant everywhere. 
Zilla atrica C.L.K. Eden Valley and Lake District. Abundant 
on hedges and shrubs in the neighbourhood of Carlisle, and 
often side by side with the next species. Adult males and 
females were taken on the Roman wall, far away in the Fells, 
apart from foliage of any kind. Occurs plentifully on the stone 
walls throughout the Lake District; Elterwater, etc. June 
and July. 
Zilla x-notata Clk. Eden Valley and Lake District. Abundant 
on the iron and stone bridges over the rivers Eden, Caldew, 
Irthing, etc.; and in the Lake District. June and July. 
Epeira quadrata Clk. Eden Valley and heather districts. This 
fine species, the ‘bee-catching’ spider, is abundant in October 
on a heathy common, Kingmoor, near Carlisle. The northern 
form, so far as I have had opportunities of observing it, is 
smaller than our southern race. Males and females are adult 
in October. 
Epeira redii Scop. (Zfeira solers—Spiders of Dorset). Lake 
District.  Tilberthwaite and Coniston Fells. Probably 
occurring throughout the heather districts. June and July. 
Epeira umbratica Clk. Eden Valley. I have not met with this 
species in any abundance, but have taken a few specimens near 
Gilsland :
