Arachnida. 6501 



spin their geometric webs, which are placed at all inclinations with 

 the ground, contrary to the usual habit of this genus, which is to place 

 them perpendicularly, except E. cucurbitina, whose webs are com- 

 monly, though not always, horizontal. 



E. cucurbitina. Common at Bloxworth and Lyndhurst. 



E. adianta. Two specimens of this beautiful species were discovered 

 by myself on Bloxworth Heath in September, 1857 ; I have since 

 taken it more freely on Lyndhurst Heath, in 1858 ; this species was 

 only known before as a continental one. 



E. fusca. Bloxworth ; and Finchall Abbey, near Durham, but rare. 



E. antriada. Bloxworth, and University College, Durham; in out- 

 houses and dark places. 



E. inclinata. Common everywhere. 



E. diadema. Common everywhere. 



E. angulata. A specimen of this spider was found by my friend Mr. 

 F. Bond on a fir tree on Ringwood Heath, one day when we were out 

 entomologising in June, 1854 ; I have since taken it at Bloxworth, 

 and Mr. Bond has also found it since at Black Park, Bucks ; it was 

 previously only recorded as a continental species, but the MS. re- 

 ferred to before (of 1714) contains a description and a well-coloured 

 figure of it. 



E. bicornis. Beat occasionally from firs near Bloxworth. 



E. conica. Bloxworth ; not infrequent on fir trees, and also 

 among flowers in Bloxworth House gardens. 



E. tubulosa. This species had not been met with since the time of 

 Lister, until rediscovered by myself near Bloxworth in 1855 ; I have 

 since met with it freely at Lyndhurst, where it spins and lives in its 

 compact funnel-shaped web among the flowers of rushes, or at the tips 

 of heath shoots. 



E. calva. Common on Lyndhurst Heath. 



E. Herii. This spider (previously only known as a continental 

 species) was discovered by myself on Lyndhurst Heath, in August, 

 1858, where it occurs abundantly. 



Tetragnatha extansa. Common everywhere. 



Tribe Enoculina — Family Dysderid^e. 



Dysdera erythrina. Common at Portland, under rocks and stones. 



D. Hombergii. Bloxworth, under loose bark ; and Lyndhurst, 

 running on the ground, but not common. 



Segestria senoculata. A single immature specimen under loose 

 bark at Lyndhurst, in August, 1858 ; common near Bradford, York- 

 shire, among the loose stones of walls, &c.
