There is a large and numerous group closely re- 

 lated to crocataria but easily distinguished by their 

 narrow, slender penis, which differs markedly from 

 the broad kite-shaped one of the former. This nar- 

 row penis group is by far the largest and occurs in 

 nearly every section of North America from Califor- 

 nia to Newfoundland.

The White Mountains of New Hampshire 



By L. IV. Swctt and Samuel E. Cassino 



The White Mountains of New Hampshire, on ac- 

 count of their altitude and diversified fauna, offer 

 the best collecting grounds to the average New Eng. 

 land collector. They are very accesible, both by train 

 and automobile, being some two hundred miles north 

 of Boston. From 1870 to 1890 much collecting was 

 done there during the summer months by Dr. Packard, 

 Mrs. A. T. Slosson, Messrs Sanborn, Scudder, Emer- 

 ton and Doll- Of late years, however, the collecting 

 has been rather spasmodic, a little being done in the 

 different orders by Messrs. Johnson, Frost, Sheriff, 

 Newcomb, Emerton and Dr. .McDunnough. Nearly 

 all the collecting has been done from July 1st on, and 

 it has always been a source of wonder as to what 

 might be taken in the early spring. 



Mr. G. H. Emerton, the spider specialist, informs 

 us that the last week of June was the earliest record 

 of collecting, to his knowledge. Mr. Johnson did the 

 earliest collecting previous to our trip, but had such 

 poor weather during the third week of June that his 

 catch was not very great. 



We decided to make a trip by automobile to Mt. 

 Washington the last week in May. We left Salem 

 early in the morning of May 28. 1918, which proved 

 rather a cold, misty day. It must be borne in mind 

 that the spring of 1918 was at least two weeks earlier 

 than usual, so that the results attained must cor- 

 respond to the season.
