ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF LONG ISLAND 

 SPIDERS. 



By Nathan Banks. 



Since the publication of my list of Long Island spiders (Journ. N. 

 Y. Ent. Soc, Vol. Ill, pp. 76-93), I have discovered several species 

 not previously known from the locality, and a few species that appear to 

 be new. These bring the total number of spiders up to 276. Almost 

 as interesting as the discovery of a new form is that of a rare one. Of 

 that little Oonipid, Orchestina, I now have several specimens of both 

 sexes. Gayenna fraterna is now known to me by another $ . Both 

 sexes of Agrtvca iiiinnta have been taken not uncommonly in May and 

 June. Another male has been taken of Corniciilaria niiniita. Hyctia 

 pikei is not very rare on salt-grass at Bayville. The species new to the 

 list are as follows :
