THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



About an eighth of a mile from the entrance is a branch which 



extends only a hundred feet or so from the main cave. In this chamber 

 the air was more moist, and the walls were sweaty. Here specimens of 



Troglohyphantes cavernicolus, Keys, were found hanging in little sheet 



webs on the underside of projecting portions of the walls. With them 



were found several small, loose egg-sacs attached to the rock. The female 



of this species was described from Renold's Cave, Ky. (Keyserling, 



Spinn. Am., Therid., II, p. 123). The male is undescribed.
