 "CANADIAN SPIDERS."* 



In looking over his collection of Canadian spiders, a few days ago, 

 Mr. J. B. Tyrrell, of the Geological Survey Department, Ottawa'

 vertently omitted in his paper noticed last month. In this connection 

 Mr. Tyrrell has very kindly furnished the following note for The 

 Ottawa Naturalist :
