and Mexico than it is farther south. The only West Indian record I 

 have seen is a species confined to St. Vincent. "We took a common 

 United States species, descripta (Hentz). in a Yalley near Banos San 

 Tincente. Cuba. 



CORIXXIX.^ 



Corinna is known from Africa, tropical Asia. ]\ralasia and America. 

 It is well developed in this hemisphere hut. although there are eight spe- 

 cies in St. Vincent which are not known elsewhere, only two species have 

 been recorded from the remaining Antilles. C. gracilipes (Keyserling) 

 is known from Havana. Cuba, and from rHaiti. C. liumilis (Keyserling) 

 has been recorded from Haiti, Porto Eico (Lnquillo and Hacienda Es- 

 paranza) and fSt. Kitts; Mr. Banks has written me that he has seen a 

 specimen from Havana, Cuba: and we have a specimen from Mayagnez, 

 Porto Eico, which is probably this species. 



Trachelas occurs in the Mediterranean region. Africa, ]\Iadagascar. 

 India, Malasia and America. In this hemisphere it appears to be best 

 developed in Central America, but hicolor Keyserling is the only species 

 recorded from the Greater Antilles. It is known only from Cayamas and 

 Santiago de las Vegas. Cuba, and from f Haiti.

These are popularly called funnel-web spiders because many of the 

 species spin flat webs which have a funnel-like passageway to their re- 

 treat. In America the family is best developed in the north and prob- 

 ably next best developed in the extreme south, being rather weak in the 

 tropics except in the more mountainous regions. 



Hahnia occurs in Europe and the Mediterranean region, the moun- 

 tains of India, Sumatra, Japan and America. There are seven species 

 not found south of the District of Columbia, one of them being known 

 only from Greenland ; two species are in Patagonia and Tierra del Puego ; 

 and one, ernsti Simon, recorded only from St. Vincent, but taken by us 

 in a rotten banana stump at about 500 meters elevation on El Duque, 

 near ISTaguabo, Porto Eico. 



Tegenaria is found throughout most of the cooler and, more rarely, 

 in the warmer portions of the world. T. domestica (Clerk), better known 

 as derhami (Scopoli), is. said to inhabit the dwellings of man in all re- 

 gions of the world, but I know of no definite record from tlie Antilles. 

 T. insularia Walcken^er is known only from Cuba and has not been re- 

 corded since its description.
