N. prolixa 
as a high and relatively large island, will yield 
far more than the 13 species recorded from it 
and may show some interesting resemblances 
to the islands to the east. 
The northern Cooks are all small coral is- 
lands. Only 8 species are recorded; all of these 
occur also in Samoa and 5 of them occur in the 
Society Islands. For comparison the Tokelau 
Islands may be mentioned. These are small coral 
islands lying west of the northern Cooks and 
north of Samoa. Thirteen species are recorded 
from them, all of which occur also in Samoa. 
Six of the 8 species from the northern Cooks 
occur also in the Tokelaus. 
ULOBORIDAE 
Uloborus geniculatus Olivier 
NIUE: 3 Female and 4 imm., 1 male imm. From 
buildings and a cave, Mutulau. 
DICTYNIDAE 
Syrorisa mumfordi Berland 
AITUTAKI: 6 Females and 12 imm., 2 males. 
Some collected under bark and others below 
coral pebbles about 2 in. in diameter on open 
ground. The webs were spun between the 
pebbles and the spider was just below. Two 
cocoons of thin white silk, one contained 
36, the other 23 eggs.
