Unidentified Spiders

    These are Spiders that I have not been able to identify or cannot be sure
    of by using the Collins Guide,
    or am unsure of. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    My friend Janet Henbane sent me this Photograph of a rather large
    looking Spider that she found in an imported box of Vegetables.
    I sent the image to Peter Harvey of the British Arachnological Society.
    "... may be a large lycosid Lycosa (L. fabrilis is our only British species,
    but it would not be this) or possible a Zoropsis. Either would probably
    originate from southern Europe".
