PAPERS ON SPIDERS 587 



Oreonetides firmvs. Northumberland is therefore very closely 

 connected with the history of these spiders, and may legiti- 

 mately be regarded as their British headquarters. 



II. 



Some Northern Records for igog. 



By far the most interesting spiders which have passed 

 through my hands in 1909 were captured in Cleveland and 

 sent to me by my nephew, Mr. J. W. H. Harrison of Middles- 

 brough, These included two species new to the British list, 

 and another which may prove to be a new species. Besides 

 these, I have received from him close upon 200 species from 

 Cleveland, and upwards of 100 species from Durham county. 

 To the Durham list also belongs an interesting little collection 

 received from Mr. W. L. Turner of the Derwent Valley Field 

 Club. I have myself had little opportunity for collecting, and 

 my rather tame records represent a brief visit to the Galloway 

 coast in June, and a similar excursion to the Northumbrian 

 coast in September. The latter expedition was undertaken in 

 the hope of picking up the unknown female of Cnephalocofes 

 incnrvatus Cb., but it did not turn up. I give the more note- 

 worthy records under territorial heads.
