prised tlirec s])e('ies, 1 Icmcrohiiis kiimuli^ 11. micans and IT, 

 hitcacenH, the last mentioned being new to our list. I am 

 indebted to Mr. J. J. King, F.E.S., and Mr. E. A. Atmore, 

 F.E.S., for tlunr identification. Seven species of Diptera are 

 additions. I am greatly indebted for the names of these to 

 Mr. J. R. Malloeh, Mr. J. E. Collin, F.E.8., and the Rev. 

 E. N. Bloomfield, xM.A., F.E.S. 



For the last two years Mr. E. D. Marqnand has been 

 actively engaged in collecting the 8])iders of Guernsey, and 

 has written a most valuable and interesting paper on this 

 section of our fauna, which will be ])ublished in the forthcom- 

 ing 7'rcni.sacffoii.s. In the old list, (Guernsey was re[)resented 

 by 42 species only, whilst in Mr. Marquand's list 190 species 

 of Spiders, 8 Harvestmen and 3 False-Scorpions are recorded, 

 eleven of these being non-British. 



In September, 1906, a large spider Avas found alive in a 

 package of bananas imported from the West Indies ; it was a 

 female and was carrying its egg sac in its jaws. Mr. 

 Marquand sent it to the Rev. O. Pickard-Cambridge, F.R.S., 

 who identified it as Heteropoda regia, Fab., and said it was 

 almost cosmopolitan in exotic regions. 



A list of the non-British insects of the Sarnian Islands 

 has been compiled and will be published in the present 

 Transactions.
