PICKARD-CAMBRIDGE: ARANEIDEA OF CUMBERLAND, ETC. 43 
Epeira diademata Clk. Eden Valley, Solway and Lake District. 
A very dark variety is abundant on the dark black lichen- 
covered rocks lying amongst the gloomy heather-clad fells 
throughout Cumberland. October. 
Epeira cornuta Clk. Lake District. Not as common as one 
might have expected. Its place seems to be taken in the 
neighbourhood of Carlisle and part of the Lake District by 
the next species. I believe that experience will show it to be 
more plentiful in the heather districts, such as Croglin Fells, 
Tilberthwaite, etc., where the grouse-heather covers the fell 
sides, while Z. Aatagiata occupies the richer river-valley districts. 
This is, however, only surmise, based upon a few disconnected 
observations, and will need confirmation, or the contrary. 
Common on Watendlath Fells, Borrowdale. July. 
Epeira patagiata Clk. Eden Valley, Solway and Lake District. 
This handsome, and, in some parts of the country, rare species 
is found apparently throughout Cumberland and the Lake 
District. It occurs abundantly on hedges and in gardens in 
the neighbourhood of Carlisle; on gorse-bushes along the banks 
of the Eden, at Armathwaite, and on the Solway, near Rockcliffe. 
It is also found plentifully on the shores of the Derwentwater, 
on palings and stone walls, in the neighbourhood of the famous 
Lodore Falls. Adult in May and again in September. 
Epeira cucurbitina Clk. Eden Valley district. Common in the 
neighbourhood of Carlisle. June and July. 
Fam. THOMISID 
Xysticus erraticus Bl. A single adult male in Newtown Moss,

ora Scie Wlk. Newtown Moss, Penrith, and amongst

May.
