STATES. 



BY J. H. EMERTON, BOSTON, MASS. 



In examining a large number of spiders from Canada and the 

 northern United States, the following species appear to be unde- 

 scribed. Six of them are from Metlakatla and other parts of the 

 coast of British Columbia, collected by J. H. Keen and now in the 

 collection of Nathan Banks, by whom several had been recognized 

 as new and partly prepared for publication. Three are from 

 Departure Bay on Vancouver Island, collected by T. B. Kurata, of 

 Toronto. Two are from the mountains near Banff, collected by 

 N. B. Sanson. Four are from Mt. Whiteface in the Adirondack 

 Mts. of Northern New York, collected by the writer and C. R.

 Canada.
