    *In this work Scudder gathered a variety of Hentz drawings and notes given to the BSNH that were not published in the Society's first issuance of Hentz's works on American spiders. In his introduction Scudder states, It is worthy of remark in this connection, that the principal localities from which Professor Hentz obtained his Araneides were Northampton, Mass., College Hill, N. C, and Tuscaloosa, Ala., and that when the United States is given as the habitat of a species, it simply means that he had specimens from Massachusetts, and from one of the southern localities.
