Walckenaera monoceros. A single adult male of this oddly-shaped 

 spider was discovered by myself at the roots of moss on the sand hills, 

 Southport, in September, 1859, and shortly after several more beneath 

 pieces of rock and stones at Portland. This species has not before

 (new to Britain) was discovered by myself on the sand hills, Southport, 

 June, 1859. 



W. aggeris. This species (new to Science) was discovered by myself 

 in plenty at the roots of grass and rubbish on the sides of dry banks 

 and ditches, on the sand hills, Southport, during the summer of 1859. 

 A description of this species, to which I have given the name of 

 " aggeris," will shortly appear in the 'Annals and Magazine of Natural
