South African Species of I'n-iji/itidce. 347 



Legs. Outer surface with numerous very dark smaller papillae 

 and a number of large pale orange papillae. Ventral surface with- 

 out pigment. Spinous pads yellowish. Feet and claws coloured as 

 in half on i- i. 



In some specimens the two kinds of pigments are more 

 evenly distributed over the dorsal surface, which appears 

 greenish brown or brownish green with the upper lateral dark 

 stripes indistinct. 



Locality. Eleven females of various sizes and one small male, all 

 preserved in an alcoholic solution of HgCL, and collected by 

 myself at the Knysna in March, 1896. They occur in rotten wood in 

 the forests and under weed-heaps, &c., on the farms near the town. 



This is a very large and stout species, and differs markedly in 

 colour from the other species of this section. The genital legs, too, 

 are much better developed. The orange-brown pigment is only 

 partially dissolved by spirits ; the greater portion remains undis- 

 solved and the colour scarcely changes. I dedicate this handsome and 

 distinct species, which rivals ca2)cnsis in size, to Mr. Adam Sedgwick. 



Other localities are : 



(a) Plettenberg Bay in the Knysna Division. Several very badly 

 preserved specimens from this locality are recognisable as belonging 

 to this species. 



(b) Grahamstown. Two specimens, presented by Dr. Schonland, 

 undoubtedly belong to this species and agree very closely with the 

 types in colour and structure, excepting that the dorsal and lateral 

 papillae are longer and not so stumpy. A third specimen from the 

 same bottle differs in the ground-colour of the dorsal surface, which 

 is green instead of brown, w r ith numerous large brown papillae ; the 

 lateral bands are entirely brown. This specimen is doubtless merely 

 a colour variety of sedgwicki. 



A female captured at the end of March, 1896, at the Knysna con- 

 tained a number of embryos of a very advanced stage of development, 

 and evidently almost ready for birth. They already possessed five 

 longitudinal green lines, corresponding to the dark ones of the adult, 

 while the legs were also dark green. 



10. PEBIPATOPSIS CLAVIGERA, 11. sp. 



Characters. Claw -bearing legs 17 pairs ; the middle spinous pad 

 very broad, 2-2-2 - 9 times as wide as the proximal pad. 



The leg on each side of the genital opening in the female with the 

 foot normally developed and slightly smaller than that of the pre-
