Daddy-long-legs from Mt. Katahdin, Maine. 



BY NATHAN BANKS. 



During the past summer Prof. H. W. Britcher, of Orono, 

 Maine, visited Mt. Katahdin to collect spiders and insects. He 

 obtained five species of daddy-long-legs. Since no species have 

 been recorded from the State, and as two of his captures are 

 rare species, his catch is worthy of record. Mt. Katahdin, now 

 famous for its butterfly, is evidently a very rich collecting 

 ground. It shows close relationship with Mt. Washington, 

 three of the forms being common to both. 



In the genus Liobunum many species vary in length of legs 

 according, as Prof. Weed has shown, to faunal limits. Now 

 the specimens of Liobunum longipes from Katahdiu have very 

 short legs, but agree exactly with Mt. Washington specimens. 

 Therefore, from this point of view Mt. Katahdin and Mt. Wash- 

 ington are in the same faunal region, even to minute limits. 

 Specimens of L. longipes from Canada and from the Thousand 

 Islands, N. Y., have much longer legs.
