palps of this species, taken in Griqualand East : Isolo by Miss Fanny 

 Boss, June, 1912, in beehives. 



17. CHELIFER SEGREGATUS Tullgren. 



Cape Province. Clanwilliam Div. (C. L. Leipoldt), 2 $ . 



The femur of the palps is somewhat more robust than should be 

 the case according to Tullgren's figure, but in all else the specimens 

 agree well with the description. 



18. CHELIFER SIMONI Balzan. 



Cape Province. Stellenbosch Div. : Faure (W. F. Purcell), 1 $ . 



I have also examined 5 $ and 14 ? , sent by the Eev. E. Godfrey, 

 who gives the following localities : Victoria East Div. : Lovedale, 

 many under stones in manure heap in company with (.'//. Keioi, and 

 some on gam-tree. King William's Town Div. : Pirie, two under 

 stones ; Cwencwe, eight on dead tree ; Burnshill, one on mimosa. 

 Griqualand East, Isolo (Miss Fanny Eoss), 3 $ , 2 5 . 



Mr. Godfrey gives the following details on its habits: "This 

 species is interesting because of its two distinct habitats, on trees and 

 on the ground. It makes a nest for moulting purposes, and the 5 

 makes a nest for reproduction. The latter nests I have found on 

 January 1, 1908, on a tree; diameter of nest, 4 - 5 mm. I have seen 

 this species carrying as prey another false-scorpion in its chelicerae." 



19. CHELIFER TUMULIFERUS Tullgren. 



Cape Province. Cape Peninsula: Bergvliet (W. F. Purcell), 4 $ ,

NOTE 1. When Tullgren, in his description of this species, says, 

 " Am Innenrande hat es (das Femur) nahe am Stielchen einen 

 charakteristischen, kleinen Knollen. Vor diesem Knollen ist das 

 Glied sehr schwach konvex," I suppose the last word is a misprint 

 for " konkav," to judge from the figure. In the above-mentioned 

 specimens ( $ $ ) the concavity is indeed quite considerable, except 

 in one specimen, where it is less pronounced and very like Tullgren's 

 figure. The stalk of the femur, too, is better marked out in my 

 specimens than is indicated in Tullgren's description and figure. 

 But I have no doubt that the specimens from Bergvliet belong to 

 Tullgren's species. 



To the description given by this author I shall make some addi- 

 tional remarks : Tullgren puts a mark of interrogation as to his 

 specimen being a $ ; I do not think this is necessary, as I will try to
