Eleven specimens, both sexes; one pair European without 

 locaHty, determined as fucorum by Strobl many years ago; 

 seven from New Bedford, Mass., determined as fucorum by 

 Stein in 1897; one from Woods Hole, Mass.; one from Falls 

 Church, Va., collected by Nathan Banks. I have determined 

 and returned other Atlantic coast specimens of this common 

 species, without making a note of the localities". Mr. Malloch 

 informs me that he has taken the species in southern Illinois.

^ In the Osten Sacken material in the Museum of Comparative Zoology are a pair 

 of maritima labeled "S. Barbara. O. Sacken," evidently indicating Santa Barbara, 

 Gal., as the place at which they were collected. I had never seen the species from the 

 Pacific coast, and in July, 1917, I improved an opportunity to collect closely for a 

 couple of hours at Santa Barbara, endeavoring to confirm the occurrence of the 

 species. I was entirely unsuccessful, and am obliged to conclude that the label is 

 probably erroneous, as I think is also the one which would represent a female of ever- 

 manni as occurring on "Summit of Sierras." That such mistakes can easily occur 

 when collections from several places stand unlabeled for a time is also illustrated by 

 one of my 1917 specimens of separata, which I find labeled Jacumba Springs, Cal., 

 about 100 miles inland from San Diego, where I collected the day before my arrival 

 at the coast.
