(に)限る
means
limit (-ed to), restrict (-ed to)
This expression often takes the passive form 限られる, as is demonstrated in the first example and に generally follows the noun. However there are cases as can be observed in the second example where は precedes 限られている, in which case the meaning is 'limited', rather than 'limited to'.
