ARACHNIDA 
Spiders, etc. 
Scarcely any collections of the members of this order have been 
made in the county of Bedford, though there is no reason to suppose 
that it should prove less prolific in species than other neighbouring 
counties. Several species however have been observed in the neigh- 
bourhood of Woburn Abbey by Lord Tavistock, and others have been 
taken by Mr. F. P. Smith—thirty-five species only, all told.
