legs. Papillae shaped as in capensis. Colour dark green, with the 

 larger papillae pale or brown. The lateral band on each side just 

 above the bases of the legs paler green or quite brown. 



It seems to me probable that these specimens belong to a distinct 

 species, but I do not care to create a new specific name for them, as 

 their age and the state of preservation of two of them renders them 

 scarcely suitable for description. 



(b) Species in which the rudimentary leg on each side of tJie genital 

 opening is normally provided with a rudimentary and claivless, but 

 distinctly recognisable foot. (On account of the state of preservation 

 of some, and the small number of specimens at my disposal of others, 

 I have not thought it advisable to attach new specific names to the 

 three forms which come under this heading.) 



4. PERIPATOPSIS, spec. nov. (?). 



Two old specimens, labelled " Katberg Forest," fifty miles north- 

 west of King William's Town (W. C. Scully, 1884), with 21 pairs of 

 claw-bearing praagenital legs. Papillae mostly low and stumpy, 

 conico-hemisphaerical, higher at the posterior part of body. The 

 rudimentary leg on each side of the genital opening furnished with 

 a spinous pad and a distinct foot, the latter bearing an anterior and 

 a posterior papilla near the apex, but no claws. 



5. PERIPATOPSIS, spec. nov. (?). 



A small female from Eichmond, Natal (Eev. J. E. Ward, 1898), 

 with 21 pairs of claw-bearing praegenital legs. Papillae shaped as in 

 moseleyi. The dorsal and lateral surfaces of the living animal were 

 of a bright orange colour, with a black median stripe, and midway 

 between the latter and the bases of the legs are a number of 

 blackened papillae, which form a dark stripe on each side. Outer 

 surface of legs with blue-black papillae and a few pinkish brown 

 ones. Under surface of body pink, without dark pigment. Genital 

 legs like those of the previous form, but the spinous pad appears to 

 be rudimentary. I examined this specimen alive. 



6. PEEIPATOPSIS, spec. nov. (?). 



A large male, also from Eichmond, Natal (Eev. J. E, Ward, 1898), 

 with 20 pairs of claw-bearing praegenital legs, was, when alive, of an 

 almost uniform dark olive-greenish brown, with the usual black 

 medio-dorsal stripe and a paler lateral band on each side just above
