 SPIDERS, WITH NOTES ON OTHER CHINESE SPECIES. 



By Ralph V. Chamberlin, 



Of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Massachusetts. 



In this paper are described a number of new species of spiders re- 

 cently noted by the author while identifying material in the United 

 States National Museum and in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 

 and notes are given upon a collection from China belonging to the 

 former institution. This collection was made by Mr. N. Gist Geo, 

 chiefly in the Province of Fokien at Foochau, Kuliang, Kucheng, and 

 Kushan, and in the Province of Kiangsu at Nanking and Soochow, 

 the greater number coming from the latter place. The new Chinese 

 species described form part of this collection, while the new North 

 American forms were found mostly in a collection made in Louisiana 

 by Mr. H. Edward Hubert, of New Orleans. 



Following is a complete list of the species occurring in the collec- 

 tion from China, each species being more particularly noted later on 

 under its proper family :
