Bedford, among oak Luton ; among oak ARACHNIDA Spiders, etc. Scarcely any collections of the members of this order have been made in the county of Bedford, though there is no reason to suppose that it should prove less prolific in species than other neighbouring counties. Several species however have been observed in the neigh- bourhood of Woburn Abbey by Lord Tavistock, and others have been taken by Mr. F. P. Smith — thirty-five species only, all told. ARANE.E ARACHNOMORPHM DYSDERID.E Spiders with six eyes and two pairs or stigmatic openings, situated close together on the genital rima ; the anterior pair communicating with lung books, the posterior with tracheal tubes. Tarsal claws, two in Dysdera, three in Harpactes and Segestria. 1. Segestria senoculata (Linnasus). Woburn Abbey (Lord Tavistock) ; Luton (F.P.S.) DRASSID^ Spiders with eight eyes, situated in two transverse rows. The tracheal openings lie immediately in front of the spinners. The tarsal claws are two in number, but the anterior pair of spinners are set wide apart at their base, and the maxillas are more or less impressed across the middle. 2. Drassodes lapidosus (Walckenaer) Luton (F.P.S.) CLUBIONIDiE Spiders with eight eyes, situated in two transverse rows. The tracheal openings lie immediately in front of the spinners.
