6862 Arachnida. 



that it is a typographical error for 240, meaning 240 in all, or 120 pairs, which would 

 nearly agree with mine. Cuvier (Regne Anim.) gives 120 pairs. An adult specimen 

 of ihis species is sufficiently scarce to be worthy of record in the' Zoologist.' —

Supplement to a Note on the Arachnida of Domet and Hants. 

 (Zool. 6493). By the Rev. O. Pickard-Cambridge, B.A. 



In the coram imication above referred to, on the Spiders of Dorset, 

 &c., I ventured to predict that the British species of this order were 

 not nearly all yet discovered. The results subjoined, of the snatches 

 of leisure that I have been able to devote to the subject during this 

 past season, have fully borne out ray prediction. The List annexed 

 contains all the species that I have found this season, not contained 

 in ray last year's List ; and so it is a kind of supplement to that one. 



In the present List there are ten species either new to science, or 

 else hitherto unrecorded as British, although known on the Continent. 



In addition also to these, I have seven species belonging to the 

 genera Neriene and Linyphia, and several species of other genera, 

 found on the sand hills at Southport and at Portland, most of which 

 I have reason to believe are undescribed species ; but they await 

 further examination. 



Order Araneidea. — Family Lycosid^. 

 Lycosa nivalis {Koch). A specimen of this species was found by 

 myself on the sand hills, Southport, in June, 1858, but not discovered 

 to be L. nivalis until April, 1859, when an extensive series of both 

 adult and immature specimens, proved its identity. It had not before 

 been recorded as British. It is one of the most numerous as well as 

 most active spiders on the sand hills, and, in common with others of 

 this genus, disappears as if by magic the moment the sun is obscured. 

 Its egg-sac is characteristic, being of a pale flesh-coloured pink. 



Family Salticid^. 



Salticus floricola [Koch). An adult male and female of this pretty 

 species (hitherto unknown as British) were discovered by myself, on 

 the north sand hills, Southport, in June, 1859, at the roots of grass 

 and moss. The male is new to Science ; the female alone being pre- 

 viously known to Arachnologists. 



S. reticulatus. Specimens of this minute Salticus were captured,
