344 THE SPIDERS OF THE TYNE VALLEY. 



Mrs. Backhouse, of the Duke's House, near Hexham, who 

 kmdly allowed me to explore the recesses of the splendid 

 Swallowship woods, which are her property. Without her 

 kind permission my list of the spiders of Tynedale would be 

 considerably shorter than it is. 



In conclusion I should like to say that much work still 

 remains to be done among the Northumbrian spiders. This 

 is particularly the case along the coast, and among the wilds 

 of the central part of the county. Many new and rare things 

 await discovery in the marshes and on the hills that divide 

 Tyneside and Cheviot. I shall always be happy to inspect 

 and identify any collections which members of the Society or 

 others may send to me. Placed in bottles, or tubes, full of 

 ordinary methylated spirit, spiders are easy to pack and send 

 by post. If some such collections could be made in various 

 parts of the county, I have no doubt that species would soon 

 be found new, not only to Northumberland, but to Britain 

 and science.
