A LIST OF THE SPIDERS OF LONG ISLAND, N. Y., WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. By Nathan Banks. Nearly all the spiders in the following list have been collected by my-self at or within a few miles of Sea Cliff. Collections in other por • tions of the island would doubtless extend the list somewhat ; mostly in the line of micro-therididae. About two hundred and forty-four species are recorded ; distributed in sixteen families. The Therididae is, of course, the largest, with about seventy-two species ; the Epeiridae next with thirty-six ; and the Attidae third with thirty-one species. The Attidae are very well represented, and the Clubionidae and Drassidae
