110 Annals of the South African Musettin. 



this form ; the latter was taken from a nest of a grass warbler (C-isti- 

 cola lais Sharpe), December 19, 1910. 



During the printing I received from Mr. Godfrey 2 specimens, 

 3 and ? , from Griqualand East : Isolo, taken by Miss Fanny Boss, 

 June, 1912. 



In Godfrey's collection there are several young examples which in 

 all essentials resemble the above species except as regards the shape 

 of the hand. While the typical form has the inner half of the hand 

 rather broadened, the central part of the inner side is, nevertheless, 

 rather straight or, at most, a little convex ; but Godfrey's specimens 

 have the inner part of the hand so much broadened with no straight 

 central line, that the hand, on account of this, gets a triangular 

 appearance. Till more specimens are found, I shall call this form 



TRIANGULARIS, 



a name which, in case the form should prove to be a new species, 

 would be a characteristic one. For the hand is indeed most charac- 

 teristic and peculiar. I will add, that in one specimen a slight 

 indication of a contraction of the hand is present, indicating relation to 

 tin- typical form. 



I have examined 9 specimens, according to Mr. Godfrey, taken in 

 the following localities : 



Cape Province. King William's Town Div. : Izeli, 5 in nests; 

 Frankfort Hill, 3,000 feet, 1 specimen under a stone. Transkei, 

 Butterworth : Blythswood, Bushman's Eock, 1 specimen. Orange 

 Free State Province : Bloemfontein, Naval Hill, 2 specimens.

Four small eyes, two on each side, about 1 diameter from each 

 other, but not situated on a common eminence; the anterior eye 

 about 3 diameters from the front margin of the cucullus. 



Colour. The adult specimen ( ? ) : cephalothorax and palps dark 

 brown, the tergites palish brown, with no distinct colour spots. The 

 other specimen, immature, is on the whole palish brown. 



Cephalothorax considerably longer than wide (11 : 8) ; the lateral 

 margins, from behind till midway, nearly parallel- sided, the anterior 

 half regularly rounded, with no distinct contraction at the base of the 

 cucullus, the front margin short and distinctly sinuatedin the middle. 

 Cucullus is thus very little pronounced and rather short. Near the 

 hind margin a straight transverse groove. The surface distinctly and
