Notes, Reviews and Comments. 1*3 



White Mountains in New Hampshire, and on the Rocky Mountains as 

 far south as Colorado, in all cases above the tree line. In Labrador 

 the same species was found by Packard near Square Island, where the 

 mountains are 400 to 1000 feet high, and bare at the top. 



Pardosa Groenlandica has been found as far north as Disco 

 Island", Greenland, and along the coast to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 

 It is common on the White Mountains, above the trees. In the 

 Rocky Mountains it occurs at 5000 feet, at Laggan and in Colorado at 

 8000 feet. It is also among the spiders Irom the Lake of the Woods, 

 andon the Pacific Coast it was found at Portland, Oregon." 



"Among the rarer species in these collections," Prof. Emerton 

 says :" there are two Epeiras of the angulata group; one: E. nigra, 

 resembling the E. soletaria described in " New England spiders " ; and 

 the other, a small variety of E. Nprdmanni. Lattey's pallida belongs 

 to a genus new to the northern part of North America." Prof. 

 Emerton states that the Attidce were determined for him by Mr. 

 Peckham and include one new species : Habrocestum montanum from 

 the Rocky Mountains and those irom the Polaris Arctic Expedition were 

 sent to Prof. Emerton by Prof. Packard. 



The bibliography of spiders is also discussed and the reference 

 given on pp. 401 and 402. Emerton, Peckham, Hentz, Keyserling, 

 Thorell, Cambridge and Blackwell being the authors who wrote from 

 1846 to the present time. 



Four excellent lithographic plates accompany this paper, drawn 

 from nature by Prof. Emerton himself, and show clearly the crucial 

 and distinguishing characters of the numerous species in question. 



Spiders are best collected in small glass bottles and preserved in 

 dilute alchohol. Systematic collecting in the Ottawa district would no 

 doubt reveal a large and important addition to the species named in 

 the list.
