Peckham—Revision of the At t idee of North America. 575 
covered with thick snow-white hairs. The palpi are brown with 
white hairs. 
In the female the body is nearly covered with a mixture of 
white and fawn-colored hairs with longer black hairs over them. 
The fawn-color predominates everywhere excepting on the sides 
and thoracic part of the cephalothorax, which are nearly white. 
There are two oblique black bands on each side of the abdomen. 
The clypeus is thickly covered with brownish white hairs. The 
falces have only a few white hairs. 
We have taken this species in Wisconsin and at the snow line 
on Mt. Hood, Oregon, and we have it from Austin, Texas. Mr. 
Emerton caught it in Massachusetts and 5,000 ft. up on Mt. 
Shasta, California. In the Britclier Collection is a female from 
Arizona, with twenty-seven young in her cocoon. Hentz had it 
from South Carolina, and Mr. Banks reports it from Palm 
Beach, Fla. 
In some specimens, under alcohol, there is, in the female, a 
light-colored longitudinal bar outlined in black, behind the mid¬ 
dle of the abdomen, and two white dots above the spinnerets.
