380 THE SPIDERS OF THE TYNE VALLEY. 



Erigone dentipalpis (Wid.). Common in Tynedale and 

 elsewhere both at home and abroad. 



Erigone promiscua (Camb.). Very closely allied to the 

 last, but not so common. Widely distributed in England, 

 Scotland, and Ireland, and occurring in France on the 

 Continent. 



Erigone atra (BL). Very common and widely distributed. 

 This species and its two predecessors may be found in 

 the adult state throughout the year and in all kinds of 

 places. The present one ascends nearly 3,000 feet in 

 Cumberland, but I have never found either of the others 

 to do so. 



Erigone longipalpis (Sund.). Several examples of each 

 sex at Whitley Bay in October, 1902. This is a coast 

 species, occurring in a good many places in Britain and 

 Ireland. At home it has been traced from Dorset to 

 Aberdeen, and abroad from Venice to Spitzbergen. 



Erigone arctica (White). Several males and females at 

 Whitley Bay in company with the last species. All were 

 found amongst grass on the golf links. At that time the 

 species was not recorded as British, but Mr. Cambridge 

 had in his possession examples from Dorset, Ireland, and 

 Scotland. Lately I have found both sexes in the Isle 

 of Man. The female is figured in Proc. Dors. Field 

 Club, vol. xxvi., 1905. E. arctica (White) has occurred 

 in Northern Siberia and Spitzbergen. 



Maso Sundevallii (Westr.). Common amongst grass and 

 dead leaves in fields and woods. It is widely distributed 

 in Britain and Ireland, and is common in many localities 

 between Dorset and Edinburgh. The males are adult 

 from the end of May to August. Females may be found 

 throughout the year. Of wide Continental distribution. 



Hilaira excisa (Camb.). Frequent amongst rushes, grass, 

 and moss in swampy places. The males are adult from 

 June to September, the females throughout the year. On
