Abstract
This study of the spiders provisioned by common mud-dauber wasps occurring in Maryland was initiated in 1937. At that time some material was collected from several nests with the intention of identifying the various species of spiders concerned. Later, 1942, in the course of a survey of the spiders of the state this material was identified and the following trends were observed; one, the predominance of certain species of spiders and two, the occurrence of rare or uncommon species. The predominance of several spiders suggested the possibility of specific food preferences of the different wasps, while the occurrence of uncommon forms indicated accidental collection. The study was begun with these problems as aims.
