60 CATALOGUE OP THE SPIDEKS OP 



of Tarentula pulverulenta, Lycosa amentata, L. nigriceps and 

 L. pidlata scampered hither and thither, none of them yet 

 adult. From the loose herbage on the rocks, which look south- 

 ward over the Tees, we beat out Meta segmentata, M. merianae, 

 Ero furcata, and Neon reticulatus. All these Spiders, however, 

 appear to be generally distributed throughout the two counties 

 down to the very coast. I have taken all except Ccelotes atropos 

 and Lycosa pidlata either at Kyhope or "Whitley. Indeed, of 

 the Spiders enumerated below, very few can be said to be of a 

 boreal type or restricted in their range to sub-alpine districts. 

 Among them may be mentioned Bolyphantes alticeps, Lephthy- 

 phantes angulata, Micryphantes suhlimis, Tmeticus adipatus, and 

 Plaesiocraerus alpinus. On the Continent these appear to be 

 peculiar to the hill districts, but I have taken the first-named in 

 the woods below Morpeth. The rest are Cheviot Spiders, ex- 

 cept Plaesiocraerus alpinus, which was taken in upper Teesdale 

 at 1300 feet. 



The total number of species here enumerated is 192. Of the 

 143 species in the Cheviot list of 1875, additional records are 

 here given for 91 ; the remaining 52 have not since been taken 

 within our area. My own collections supply 44 new records 

 (including one species new to science) ; another is in the Museum 

 of the Natural History Society ( Tegenaria atrica) ; the rest are 

 from other records. 



Of the fourteen species new to science in the Cheviot list, 

 eight have not, so far as I know, been found elsewhere in the 

 British Islands; though one of the eight — Centromerus {Liny- 

 plrnC) arcanus — has since been taken on the Continent. 



Of the Spiders here enumerated the most noteworthy are 

 Tapinopa unicolor, Hilaira uncata, Micryphantes suhlimis, 

 Neriene (?) curtipes, Cornicularia clara, C. (?) pudens, C. (?) 

 pavitans, Tmeticus ahnormis, Tm. adipatus, Centromerus prudens, 

 Porrhomma (?) contritum, Centromerus arcanus, Neriene (?) 

 morula, Wideria nodosa, all new species discovered in the Cheviot 

 neighbourhood by James Hardy. To these may be added Pedina 

 scopiger and Lephthyphantes angidatus, also in the Cheviot list 

 and at that time new to Britain.
