Hull : Spiders of Northumberland and Durham.

Tmeticus contritus Cb. This is the generic position assigned 

 now by Mr. Pickard-Cambridge to the spider which I con- 

 jectured to be a Porrhomma. 



Tmeticus huthwaitii Cb. An adult male, Haltvvhistle. 



Tmeticus reprobus Cb. To this species must be referred the 

 spider taken .at Whitley and described as new by me under 

 the name of Tmeticus denticulatus. A single example had 

 been taken by Mr. Pi jkard-Cambridge at Weymouth man}' 

 years ago. After an interval of over thirty years it was 

 taken within a short period at places so wide apart as 

 Whitley, Edinburgh, and Dublin Bay — always, as at Wey- 

 mouth, by the sea near high-water mark. 



Pedina scopigera Grube. This 1 »find to be quite a common 

 spider under stones, at any rate in sub-alpine regions. 



Neriene. Mr. Packard-Cambridge has shown that, historically, 

 this generic name should not be applied to the group of 

 spiders which I, following Kulczynski and Simon, included 

 under it. The right to the name rests between Neriene 

 (Gonatium Menge) rubens and N. (Dicyphtts Menge) coruu/a, 

 described simultaneously by Blackwall in 1833. Mr. Pickard- 

 Cambridge assigns it to the former, suppressing the name 

 Gonatium but retaining Dicyphus (List of British and Irish 

 Spiders), though he points out that the latter is preoccupied 

 for a genus of Hemiptera. The group recorded by me 

 under Neriene he includes under Gongylidium. This does 

 not apply to the two Cheviot spiders, placed here because 

 I was ignorant of their true g'eneric position. The types 

 (which' are unique) are in the possession of Mr. Pickard- 

 Cambridge, in whose recently-published List N. morula is 

 referred to the g - enus Sinlula, and N. curtipes is placed, 

 with an expression of doubt, under Lophomma. 



Pises iocrserus. In Mr. Pickard-Cambridge's new List this 

 genus of M. Simon is included with Diplocephalus , and 

 D. liu mil is removed to the genus Arceoncus. 



Diplocephalus fuscipes HI. Adult male, Haltwhistle. 



Diplocephalus permixtus Cb. Adult males, Haltwhistle. 



Diplocephalus alpinus Cb. Adult males, Haltwhistle. 



Nematogmus obscurus Walck. Ovingham ; Haltwhistle ; 

 Ravensworth. 



Cornicularia pudens Cb. and C. pavitans Cb. The position 

 conjecturallv assigned to these spiders is confirmed h\ Mr. 

 Pickard-Cambridge.
