Abstract
During the fall and early winter of 1931 my attention was attracted by the occurrence of great masses of spider-webs along the west shore of a lake situated about six miles east of Gainesville in Alachua County, Florida. This lake, the site of the biological station of the University of Florida, was formerly called Pithlachocco but now bears the more prosaic name of Newnan‗s Lake. It is six or seven miles in length, and shallow throughout. Its level fluctuates considerably even in normal years, and the prolonged drought which occurred in the.fall of 1931 caused it to lower more than the usual amount, exposing a breadth of sandy and mucky beach beyond the fringe of cypresses which borders the shores and ordinarily extends into the water's edge.
