Arachnida. 



*S. reticulatus, Blackw. Rare ; at heath-roots and under pieces of 

 wood and stone, and among moss in woods at Bloxworth, Dorset; 

 also under stones at Portland, and on Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh, in 

 July, 1861. 



*S. tardigradus, Walck. Being at Calke, near Derby, at the begin- 

 ning of August, I searched some palings where, in April, 1800, I had 

 captured a very young specimen, and was pleased to find adults of 

 both sexes of this fine large Salticus in tolerable abundance.j 



Family ThomisidjE. 



*Thomisus floricolens, Walck. Adult males on iron railings, Blox- 

 worth, in May. 



T. morio, Koch. An adult male of this species, now recorded for 

 the first time as British, was captured on Bloxworth Heath, by my- 

 self, in 1857 ; but it was mistaken, until lately, for T. luctuosus, from 

 which, however, it differs very remarkably, especially in the form of 

 the palpi. 



*T. Cambridgii, Blackwall. The female only of this species has 

 been as yet recorded ; but on an examination of some adult males of 

 T. bifasciatus, I found among them an adult male of this fine species, 

 which was captured by myself some time back, on Bloxworth Heath. 



T. versutus, Blackw. An adult male, captured on Bloxworth Heath, 

 in May, 1861. 



T. trux, Blackw. Immature specimens swept off flowers in woods, 

 in September, 1861, at Bloxworth. 



T. incertus, Blackw. Adult females at the roots of trees, Blox- 

 worth, in May ; and adult males among dead leaves and rubbish in a 

 plantation at Drayton-Beauchamp, Bucks, in August, 1861. 



T. simplex, Cambridge. I discovered this very distinct new spe- 

 cies at the base of large trees on the lawn at Bloxworth Rectory ; the 

 males were adult in May, and the females in June, 1861. 



*T. lanio, Koch. Adults of both sexes beaten frequently from un- 

 derwood at Bloxworth, in May and June. 



*Philodromus pallidus, Walck. Adult males of this species were 

 beaten by myself and Mr. Tuffen West, off Scotch firs near Bloxworth, 

 in May, 1861. 



*P. elegans, Blackw. An immature male was sent me, among other- 

 spiders from Shirley Heath, by Dr. Knaggs, M.D. The only locality 

 in which this species has been met with before, is that in which 1 dis- 

 covered it, near Lyndhurst, New Forest, in 1858.
