Akaneida. 



(Arranged according to Banks' Catalogue of Nearctic Spiders, U.S.N.M,, 

 Bull, 73. The numbers refer to the pages in the catalogue.) 



During the past year Mr. J. H. Enierton, of Boston, has examined many 

 spiders collected in Canada. The collection at the University of Toronto, largely 

 the work of Prof. E. M. Walker and Mr. T. B. Kurata, was studied. This collec- 

 tion contains 110 species from widely separated localities. Collections made at 

 Toronto by Mrs. A. B. Faull and from the Thousand Islands by Miss H. Coleman 

 were also determined by Mr. Emerton. In June, 19 IG, Mr. Emerton visited 

 Ottawa and the writer spent many happy hours in his company collecting spiders, 

 etc. While in Ottawa he examined the collection in the Entomological Branch, and 

 identified a number of species. After leaving Ottawa, Mr. Emerton made collec- 

 tions at Montreal and Quebec, south to Sherbrooke and Megantic and northward to 

 Maniwaki, Montford and Lake St. John, 92 species in all being taken. Mr. F. W. 

 Waugh, of the Geological Survey, Ottawa, collected 46 species at Long Lake, 60 

 miles east of L. Xipigon and on Manitoulin Island, Lake Huron. 



Many of the records given below refer to well known species, but it seems 

 worth while including them here, as the definite localities add to their known range 

 of distribution. 



In the Proceedings of the United States National Museum, \^ol. 51, pages 

 67-72 (separates issued Oct. 16, 1916), Nathan Banks published a list of 51 

 species of spiders collected by Messrs. Currie, Caudell and Dyar, in British Columbia 

 in 1903.
