Peacock : Harvestmen and Spiders near Grantham. 79 



Saldidce, a family of leaping- bugs, generally found in salt 

 marshes, but the specimens obtained were all in the nymphal 

 condition, and so difficult to identify. I have taken some three 

 or four species in this locality about the end of June. 



At North Somercotes three new and unrecorded Spiders 

 turned up. Clubiona neglecta Cambr. ; this is rare anywhere. 

 Heliophanus flavipes C.L.Koch, locally rare. Also Drassodes 

 cnpreus Bl., with a number of other species, more or less 

 common to other parts of the county, which have gone into the 

 Register for future publication in ' The Naturalist.' 



As the party had made a very early start from Louth, shortly 

 after three o'clock they joined forces at the New Inn, Saltfleetby, 

 where the late Mr. John Cordeaux hospitably provided an 

 excellent high tea for the Union at his own expense, as he ever did 

 when it met in his neighbourhood. Mr. E. Kyme Cordeaux, J. P., 

 was in the chair. After the usual short accounts of the day's 

 observations had been given, the Rev. W. Fowler proposed 

 a very cordial vote of thanks to Mr. Cordeaux. Mr. Burton 

 seconded, remarking that not only had they enjoyed Mr. 

 Cordeaux's kind hospitality, but they had also had the advantage 

 of his presence and of his intimate knowledge of the bird life of 

 the neighbourhood. If a new name were required for the district, 

 he would suggest Cordeaux-land as an appropriate appellation. 



Mr. Cordeaux, on rising to thank his visitors for their presence 

 and good wishes, said he had known the neighbourhood ever 

 since he was a lad, for it was there he had first imbibed his love 

 for Natural History and Ornithology.
