| Abstract | This paper presents a comparative listof spiders collected inthe 82 counties ofMississippi and in a random sampling of the spiders of Arkansas. The Mississippi list includes 26 families with 263 species, whereas the Arkansas collection includes 24 families with 206 species. Various methods of collecting were used inan effort to sample all populations and to contribute to knowledge of the taxonomy both Mississippi and Arkansas. This paper presents a list of spiders collected in the 82 counties ofMississippi and in a random sampling of Arkansas counties. The Mississippi collection, housed at the University of Mississippi, includes 26 families and 263 species; the Arkansas collection includes 24 families and 206 species. I Elections were made at various times ofday and in every th of the year. Every county of Mississippi was covered een summer I960 and spring 1966. In Arkansas the ction was less concentrated, extending only from 1966 igh 1970. The writerbelieves the Arkansas species will far umber the Mississippi species once extensive collections been made throughout the state. The variety of habitats ed by Arkansas should yield a rich spider fauna. The Mississippi checklist includes 263 species based on a total collection of approximately 20,000 specimens; the Arkansas list includes 206 species based on collections of nearly 10,000 specimens. The names used are those employed by Comstock (1948), Kaston and Kaston (1953), and Gertsch (1949). The arrangement followed is that ofKaston and Kaston (1953). One asterisk indicates that individuals of the species also have been collected in Arkansas. Two asterisks indicate that the species have been collected in Arkansas but not in Mississippi.
