Arachnid a. 



C. domestica. Underneath stones, Portland, September 1858. 

 C. erratica. Common at Bloxworth and Lyndhurst among heath, 

 rushes > and furze. 



Argyroneta aquatica. From ponds near Durham, April 1857. 



Family Ciniflonim. 

 Ciniflo atrox. Bloxworth and Durham. 



C. ferox. Common ; Bloxworth, Hatch Beauchamp, Durham, and 

 Lyndhurst. 



C. mordax. An adult specimen of this species was given me by my 

 friend Mr. F. Bond, who took it by lamplight in a garden at Fresh- 

 water, Isle of Wight. From this specimen Mr. Blackwall has lately 

 named and described it in the 6 Annals.' 



Ergatis benigna. Very common at Bloxworth and Lyndhurst 

 throughout summer and autumn, in swampy places ; where every rush- 

 blossom or tip of heath has its tenant snugly domiciled in a small 

 irregular web. 



E. pallens. This pretty species was discovered by myself in a 

 wood near Lyndhurst, in July 1858; it was ensconced in a bramble 

 leaf sewn together by its web, and inside the leaf it brooded over 

 three flattish round white sacs, each enclosing several eggs ; it has 

 been lately named and described in the ' Annals' by Mr. Blackwall, 

 who, however, is of opinion that the eggs were not those of this 

 species. 



E. latens. Bloxworth and Lyndhurst. 



Veleda lineata. This spider was discovered by myself on Lynd- 

 hurst Heath, in August, 1858 ; and, belonging to no known genus, 

 Mr. Blackwall has constructed from its peculiarities a new genus, to 

 which he has given the above name ; the few specimens of this 

 peculiar and distinctly marked spider, which I obtained with close 

 searching, were all immature. 



Family Agelenim. 



Agelcna labyrinthica. Common on heaths at Bloxworth and Lynd- 

 hurst ; and also in every lane side may be seen its large horizontal 

 webs, with a tube in the centre, in which the occupant lies wait. 



A. brunnea. Bloxworth ; and Southport, Lancashire, but not 

 common. 



A. gracilipes. This species was discovered by myself on Lyndhurst 

 Heath, in September, 1858 ; and has been lately named and de- 

 scribed by Mr. Blackwall in the 6 Annals.'
