ULSTER SPIDERS COLLECTED IN 1915. 

 By J. A. Sidney Stendall, Assistant Curator. 

 Belfast Municipal Art Gallery and Museum. 

 A former member of the Belfast Natural History and Philo. 

 sophical Society, the late Mr. Thomas Workman, has placed on 

 record in the Society's proceedings for 1880, a list of 64 species of 

 spiders collected by himself in Ulster. A total of 112 species is 

 given, including the Templeton records, though some are doubtful 

 records owing to certain type specimens having been lost. As far 

 as I can gather, all that remains of the Workman Collection of 

 Spiders is preserved in the Belfast Natural History and Philo- 

 sophical Society's collection, and deposited in the City Museum. 

 Dr. A. Randell Jackson (Chester) has examined these specimens, 

 and I have deemed it sufificiently important to give a list of names 

 and localities together with the Museum accession number pre- 

 ceding each name. The list comprises 25 species, 23 being 

 Ulster specimens and 2 English. All the specimens are in 

 extremely poor condition and to quote Dr. Jackson's own words, 

 " practically valueless." However, they comprise all that remain 

 of the Workman Collection, and are now safely preserved for all 

 time, if only to serve as a memorial to one who did good work for 

 the Society and for science generally, in days gone by.
