Uhtev Spider f^ 97 



During the year 1915, i.e., since the month of March, I have 

 devoted what Httle spare time available to visiting various known 

 localities in the hope of unearthing species of doubtful records and 

 gathering specimens in pastures new. 



As far as I have been able to work at the material accumu- 

 lated, I find there are 60 species to record. Of these, one species, 

 Leptyphantes nebulosus^ Sund. has not hitherto been recorded 

 from Ireland, and the males of two species, A'^vneia conigera, 

 Cambr. and Mftopobacirus prominnhis^ Cambr. have also made 

 their first appearance in this country among the Ulster fauna. Five 

 species are recorded as new to Ulster, while the total number of 

 new county records is 16, being mainly from the counties Down 

 and Antrim The complete list of 60 species is appended. 



I should like before closing this report to say how very much 

 indebted I am to Dr. A. R. Jackson, who has examined all my 

 specimens, and Mr. Denis R. Pack Beresford for the valuable 

 assistance they have accorded me in my researches.
