432 ON SOME RARE ARACHNIDS 



in the New Forest in early June. Mr. Paclc-Beresford 

 also sent me a fine female obtained on Devenish Island, 

 Lough Erne, Ireland, by Mr, R. Welch. 



Philodromus elegans (Blackw.). Several examples — 

 all females — of this extremely beautiful spider were swept 

 from long heather on the summit of Woolbarrow, Blox- 

 worth Heath in early June. 



Euophrys petrensis (C. L. Koch). Females on a sandy 

 path on Blox worth Heath. 



Evarcha arcuata (Clerck). Both sexes amongst heather 

 growing in boggy places at Burnham Beeches, and in 

 the New Forest. 



Sitticus pubescens (Fabr.). A female on the trunk of a 

 tree in Richmond Park, another on a pear tree in my 

 garden at Chester, and a young male on the ceiling of a 

 bedroom in my house. 



>Elurillus insignitus (Clerck). Both sexes amongst 

 heather at Studland. 



Gicurina cinerea (Panz.). Females under stones in a chalk 

 pit at Cudham, Kent. 



GcBlotes terrestris (Wid.). Females in company with the 

 last species. 



Dolomedes fimbriatus (Walck.). Both sexes were found 

 in the adult condition at Hyde near Bloxworth in early 

 June. They inhabited the steep sides of a ditch over- 

 hung with heather. They were in considerable numbers, 

 but unfortunately I was not prepared for much * big 

 game,' and so could only take a few specimens. 



Trochosa robusta (Sim.). Females and young under 

 stones at Swanage. 



Tarentula cuneata (Clerck). The males were not un- 

 common running on the paths in Richmond Park on 

 June ist. No females could be found in spite of much 

 search.
