These specimens show the lighter coloration of those from the 

 Bokkeveld Mts., bub possess a larger number of pectinal teeth. 



(c) 3 $ (1 ad.) from Wupperthal, Clamvilliam Div. (Rer. Schmolke) : 

 No. of pect. teeth in ? 18-21 ; length of carapace in ad. $ 16i mm. 

 These specimens show the lighter coloration of the tail and palps. 



(/') 1 juv. 3 from the Kaakadouw Pass, alt. 1,000-3,000 ft., in 

 the Cedarbergen, Clamvilliam Div. (E. Pattison and C. L. Leipoldt) : 

 No. of pect. teeth 26-28. 



((/} 2 juv. 5 and 2 ad. $ from the Mission Station at Goede 

 Verwachting (Gutwerwacht) in the Piquetberg Eange, Piquetberg 

 Div. (Rev. Marks): No. of pect. teeth in $ 17-19, in $ 25-28; 

 length of carapace in $ 15f mm. ; interocular area of adult smooth, 

 except quite anteriorly, where there are a few weak granules ; sterna 

 as in the specimens from the Bokkeveld Mts. ; colour of humerus, 

 brachium, cauda and hind-border of tergal segments very dark, 

 nearly black, in the ad. $ . 



(h) 1 ad. 3 (dry) labelled " Touws River," Worcester Div. This 

 is an old specimen, and I am not quite certain of the locality. It 

 differs ramarkably from the specimens we possess from the more 

 western parts of the Colony. The upper crest of the brachium is 

 coarsely crenulated, in the proximal part even granular ; the ventral 

 surface of the abdomen and of the first two caudal segments, though 

 apparently smooth to the naked eye, is provided with exceedingly 

 minute granules, evenly scattered over the surface at distances of 

 about mm. apart ; the anterior fourth of the interocular area is 

 coarsely granular ; the coloration of the whole animal is compara- 

 tively light. No. of pect. teeth 26 ; length of carapace 17f mm. 



The Museum possesses adult males agreeing almost exactly in the 

 dimensions of the different parts with Koch's figure of the type 

 specimen. The whole of the upper surface of the first 6 segments 

 of the terga is extremely finely shagreened, the granules, excepting 

 a few at the sides, being individually almost invisible, unless magni- 

 fied. Although these terga are stated by Koch to be smooth in the 

 type specimen, I have no doubt as to the specific identity of our 

 specimens and his. 



The interocular area of the carapace is generally quite smooth in 

 the adults of both sexes, though sometimes it is weakly or even 

 coarsely granular in the anterior part ; in the young it is nearly 

 always granular anteriorly. 



In general appearance the adult male greatly resembles that of 

 karrooensis, Pur., but the brachium equals the humerus in length 

 in pallidipes. The carapace is slightly longer than the first two
