My thanks are due to Mrs. Fletcher, North Sunderland 

 Vicarage ; to Mr. Tait, North Sunderland ; and to Mr. W. 

 Flowers, West Thirston, for spiders collected and kindly sent 

 on to me. Also to the Rev. O. Pickard-Cambridge, for kindly 

 confirming my identification of some of the rarer species. 



Figures of Cnephalocotes incurvatus are here given to supple- 

 ment those of Mr. Pickard-Cambridge in the Linnaean Society's 

 Transactions, volume xxviii., plate 46, fig. 20 ; also of Lopho- 

 carenum nemorale $ and L. parallelum 2, which are not figured 

 in any British work, and only very imperfectly in Chyzer and 

 Kulczynski's ' Araneae Hungariae.' 



A Short Guide to the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street, 

 London, S.W. 48 pp. Price id. 



Some little time ago when visiting the Jermyn Street Museum, we pur- 

 chased an elaborate guide for 6d., and were much impressed with the 

 detailed accounts of large collections, which had been removed to other 

 museums, some miles away. This state of things has now been remedied, 

 and we are delighted to find that the Jermyn Street Museum has brought 

 out a carefully compiled guide at the popular price of one penny. A 

 perusal of this is some slight indication of the wealth of the geological 

 specimens in this institution. By the aid of this ' short guide ' the visitor 

 can at once find his way to the objects he is particularly interested in. 

 Further help in this direction is given by the insertion of five plans. 



An Oflicial Guide to Towneley Hall, Burnley, written by Mr. John Allen, 

 has just been issued by the Burnley Museum Sub-Committee. It is a well- 

 illustrated account of this ancient mansion, now an attractive Art Gallery 

 and Museum. Quite apart from its associations, there is much in Towneley 

 Hall of interest to the artist, antiquary, or naturalist. In view of the ex- 

 treme value of the Foldy's Cross, and the fact that it is one of the 

 few of this type that are dated (1520), we certainly think that it should be 

 placed under cover.
