The epigynum is distinctly different from that of pictilis. (Fig. 3, e.) In the male the thickened first and second legs have two rows of stiff hairs on the under side of tibia and metatarsus, which are about twice as long and twice as thick as the other hairs of the legs. (Fig- 3. a, b.) The head of the male is not elevated behind the eyes as in the males of pictilis and gigas, but there is a slight projection forward between the front upper eyes. (Fig. 3. a.) The male palpus has the tibia somewhat like that of pictilis with the dorsal tooth larger and the outer process shorter and turned outward. (Fig. 3. c.) The palpal organ is much like that of G. oniata. (Fig. 3. d.) One male and one female only from Moose Island.

Cybaeus rsticulatus, morosus and signifer Sinioii These three species of Cybaeus form a conspicuous part of the spider fauna of the west coast of Canada. They range from \'ancouver Island to Alaska and eastward to the Rocky Mountains, and occur together in many col- lections as though living together in the same places like the three eastern Cicuriiia. All three were named and briefly described by Simon in the Proceed- ings of the Entomological Society of Belgium in i(%6 and specimens identified by Simon are now in the collection of Xathan lianks with which the recent Canadian specimens liave been compared. J-*reserved in alcohol, the three species look much alike, all havin
