CATALOGTJE OF THE SPIDEKS, ETC. 57 



IV. — Catalogue of the Spiders ( Araneidea) of Northumberland 

 and Durham. By the Eev. John E. Hull, M.A., North 

 Shields. 



The basis of the Catalogue here given is the work of Mr. James 

 Hardy of Old Cambus, Berwickshire, which is embodied in a paper 

 contained in the Proceedings of the Berwickshire JSTaturalists' 

 Field Club (vol. VII., pp. 307-323). It is entitled, ''List of 

 Araneidea and Phalangeidea, collected from October, 1871, to 

 October, 1874, ^^ Berwickshire and Northumberland, by Mr. 

 James Hardy. By the Rev. 0. P. Cambridge, M.A., C.M.Z.S:' 

 One hundred and forty-three species are recorded for Northum- 

 berland, all from the neighbourhood of Cheviot Hill and Wooler ; 

 and of these no less than fourteen were new to science, and two 

 new to the British list. The number of species for Northum- 

 berland and Durham is here increased to 192, of which one 

 appears to be hitherto undescribed. 



For purposes of reference and comparison, a chronological 

 bibliography of the Araneidea of the North of England and the 

 Scottish Lowlands is appended : —
