NORTHUMBRIAN COAST SPIDERS. 



Kev. J. E. HULL. 



Unless otherwise noted, all the spiders enumerated below were 

 collected by myself during a month's stay in the neighbourhood 

 of North Sunderland, in September 1908. Since that time the 

 kindness of two or three friends has enabled me to add a few 

 names to the list, some of considerable importance. Previously, 

 next to nothing had been done on the coast of Northumberland, 

 for casual visits to the neighbourhood of Whitley Bay, by myself 

 in 1896, and by Dr. Jackson a few years later, produced very 

 meagre results. The most notable of the Whitley records was 

 that of Tmeticiis reprobus Cb. (then a little-known spider, and 

 recorded by me as a new species under the name of TmeHcus 

 deniiculatus) , and of Erigone arctica White, found there by Dr. 

 Jackson in 1902, when it was new to the British list. 



Of the more recent captures by far the most interesting is

1. Cnephalocotes incurvatus Cb. $ — cephalothorax.

3. ,, — tibia of left palpus, from within. 



4. ,, ,, — tarsus and metatarsus of first 



pair of legs.

6. Lophocavenum parallelum Bl. ^ — epigyne. 



Cnephalocotes incurvatus Cb., of which two males were taken on 

 the links opposite the Farne Islands. The type specimen 

 (also a male) was sent to Mr. Pickard-Cambridge from Aberdeen
