common. My collections of Scottish spiders have furnished 

 Mr Cambridge with the types of nine new species/ besides 

 many other additions to the British list. 



Phalangidea. — The results as regards this order have also 

 been published in joint papers by Professor Carpenter and 

 myself communicated to this Society in 1895 and 1899.^ 

 The number of species recorded is 16, which probably comes 

 very near being a complete list for the area. Oligolo'phus 

 hansenii (Kraep.) was undescribed when I first found it. 



Chernetidea. — In the two papers referred to under the 

 previous order, a few False-scorpions were also recorded, and 

 in subsequent notes in the Ann. Scot. Nat. Rist.^ I have men- 

 tioned the occurrence of several others. Mr E. Godfrey, who 

 has recently paid much attention to this order in Scotland, has 

 published notes on 5 species occurring in West Lothian/ 

 the county in which he first found the interesting Chernes 

 cluhius, Cambr. So far only 8 species, as under, have been 

 detected by us in Forth, where it is not too much to expect 

 at least a dozen to occur. A score or so have been taken 

 in Britain. 



Chthonius rayi, L. K. — Not uncommon ; Fife and the 

 Lothians ; Abbey Craig, near Stirling, April 1906. 



C. orthodactylus (Leach) — Rare ; Morningside, Edinburgh, one 

 in garden, Sept. 1897.^ 



C. tetrachelatus (Preys.) — Wide-spread and fairly common ; 

 Lothians and Fife. 



Ohisium muscorum, Leach — By far our commonest species, 

 and generally distributed, occurring from sea-level to the tops of 

 the highest hills — I have it, for example, from the Isle of May, 

 and the summits of East Cairn-hill (Pentlands), Ben Ledi, and 



^ These are : — Dictyna arenicola, LufFness Links and Loch Morlich ; 

 Tmeticus carpenteri, Pentland Hills ; Sintula fausta, Lauder ; S. neseia. 

 Comrie; Gongylidw/in morum, Aberlady; G. gibbum, Comvie ; Cnephaloeotes 

 ambiguus, Arran (not Bute) ; Caledonia evamii, Pentland and Lowther 

 Hills ; Evaiisia merens, Glenfarg. For descriptions cf. Proc. Dors. Field 

 Club, etc.

^ Of the specimens recorded by Carpenter and myself [I.e.) as C. ortho- 

 dactylus, that from my garden in 1897 seems right, but an Aberlady one — 

 the only other preserved — is evidently an immature C. tetrachelatus.
