ISTew Canadian Spiders. 



Second Paper. 



The folloAving paper is a continuation of one published in these 

 Transactions in 1894 and like that is a description of a number 

 of new species from various parts of Canada and from several 

 collectors. The writer has made collections in the Rocky Moun- 

 tains and across western Canada in two visits in 1905 and 1914. 

 Mr. ]^. B. Sanson of the Banff Museum has made a small collec- 

 tion from the neighborhood of Banff. On the eastern side of 

 Canada Dr. C. W. Townsend and Miss E. M. Esterbrook of 

 Boston and Messrs. Leng and Engiehart of 'New York have col- 

 lected in Labrador and Newfoundland. In Maine and New 

 Hampshire several species have been discovered known before only 

 in western Canada. Several species are found to range across 

 Canada from Labrador to the Eocky Mountains and the Pacific 

 coast and many others are known in the Pocky Mountains and 

 on the eastern coast without the connection between them having 

 been discovered. Tmeticus armatus, Banks, described originally 

 from Manitoba, is now known both in the Rocky Mountains and 

 in Maine and New Hampshire. LopJiocarenum alpinum of the 

 "White Mountains has been found at Banff. Theridion zelotypum, 

 common in Maine, has been traced westward from Lake Superior 

 in bogs along the edge of the spruce forest to the headwaters of the 

 Athabasca River in the Rocky Mountains. Linyphia nearctica, 

 (humilis) described from Laggan, is known to live all over eastern 

 Maine and on the tops of the White Mountains and Green Moun- 

 tains in New Hampshire and Vermont. Theridion sexpunctatum 

 has been found at several points across Canada to Vancouver and 

 Sitka on the west coast.
