THE SPIDERS OF EPPING FOREST.
By FRANK P. SMITH.
(Continued from Vol. XII., page 201).
(With Plates IV. and V.)
V.—A SYSTEMATIC LIST OF THE SPIDERS OF
EPPING FOREST.
IN the following descriptive list the names of those species
which have been recorded as occurring in Epping Forest
will be distinguished by being printed in thicker type. The
term "Epping Forest" must be taken to signify the district
defined by Mr. William Cole in the Essex Naturalist,
vol. vi., page 10, together with the recently acquired portions
of the old "Hainhault Forest."1
In order to economize space as much as possible, synonyms
will be given only where the names here adopted differ from
those employed by Rev. O. P. Cambridge in his List of British
and Irish Spiders, this work being indicated by the abbreviation
"Cambr. List." Length measurements of the species will not
be given, but they can be obtained from the present writer's
papers, entitled An Introduction to British Spiders (printed in
Science Gossip).
