Second Contribution to Spider Fauna of Scotland. 183 
The Cairngorm mountains differ in several respects from Ben Nevis 
and the other mountains on which I have collected. For example, on 
June 6th, there was eight feet of snow on Ben Nevis at 4406 feet, whilst 
on June 13th, Ben McDhui with a height of 4296 feet was free except in 
some of the deepest corries. The Cairngorm mountains have an immense 
bulk, and their summits all rise from a lofty plateau about 3500 feet in height. 
This is covered with coarse grass and frequented by abundant Lycosids which, 
in some other parts of Scotland, seem conspicuous by their absence at 
high elevations. The great size and remoteness of these peaks makes them 
ditficult of access. The easiest way—as I now know—is to cycle up to 
Loch Eunach and thence work Cairntoul and Braeriach. 
On June 10th, 11th, and 12th, Rothiemurchus forest was worked. I 
include in this, Glenmore forest, and Abernethy forest, but did little in the 
two latter localities. The following animals were obtained :—
