380 ARANEIDEA OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. 



Atypus beckii O. P. Cambr., is the first name given to a 

 recognisable description, the type moreover being in existence, 

 of that form commonly known as piceus, Sultzer. The type 

 was supposed to have been taken at Hastings by the late 

 Richard Beck. This may be so, but although plenty of the 

 other species affinis occurs there, no other example of this well- 

 known continental form has since been taken in the district. 



Another example of the interesting Scytodes thoracica, 

 Latr., has been taken in Guernsey by Mr. Luff. 



Two species only of spiders have hitherto been recorded 

 from the Island of Alderney, Xijsticus bifasciatus and Oxyptila 

 praticola, so that the total number now known as frequenting 

 that island is 23, not including an interesting Phalangid or 

 " Harvest-man," Sclerosoma romanum, L. Koch, which was 

 found in the collection. The following is a list of the species 

 taken by Mr. Marquand.
