niorio Fabr., 0. agres/is Meade., and Nemastoma lugubre O. F. MuUer. 
The Pseudoscorpion Chdifer latreillii Leach., is very common under pieces of 
drift wood, etc., and Chthonius rayi L. Koch, has been found. 
The Humber shore immediately west of Kilnsea, has been little worked by 
arachnologists. It is certain, however, to yield some local species. On the 
foreshore nearer Hull have been found Coinicularia kochii Camb., Lycosa 
pnrbeckensis var., minor F'.O.P. Camb., Erigone spinosa Camb., Erigene 
longipalpis '6\xnd.y Cictirina cinerea Panz., Tmeticus concinnus Thor. ^ Cnephalocotes 
curtus Sim., etc., and the Harvest Spiders, Liobuiium blackwallii Meade., and 
Oligolophus hansenii Kraepl. 
ARCHAEOLOGY— 
Mr. Sheppard writes : — It seems fairly clear that the Romans had a road along 
the coast from some point on the promontory of Flamborough to Spurn, This 
supposition is supported by the fact that whillst in the low-lying parts of Holderness 
exceedingly few Roman remains have been found, coins, pottery, etc., have been 
found at Kilnsea, Hollym, Withernsea, etc. Through the denudation of the cliffs 
this road has long since been washed away, the relics found being those which were 
lost or deposited on its western side. Roman and Roman-British earthenware 
remains, as well as a large number of silver and bronze coins and other relics, many 
of which are now exhibited in the Hull Museum, have been obtained at Kilnsea 
and Easington, though principally on the Humber shore. On the Humber shore, 
before reaching Easington, are some V-shaped trenches which are crowded with 
fragments of pottery, oyster shells, bones and other refuse. The distance between 
the various trenches in the Easington district are considerable, and from the objects 
found it would appear that a small though not unimportant station existed here. 
From its geographical position commanding the entrance to the Humber and with 
an outlook to the sea, we should naturally expect that the Romans would have 
taken advantage of such a place as Spurn Head. For the history of the Spurn 
neighbourhood in mediaeval times reference should be made to Boyle's " Lost 
Towns of the Humber."
