greatest oblique height is taken as the width. Fingers moderately 

 robust, somewhat curved, a little longer than the hand, slightly 

 gaping, more so in <$ , less in $, both fingers provided with some 

 large and small " accessory teeth " on the inner side in the distal 

 half. 



Mandibles. Galea nearly of the same shape in both sexes, 

 moderately robust, pointed, with teeth of different length along 

 the underside. 



Legs. The outer side with clavate, the inner side with pointed 

 hairs. The tarsus of the IV. pair provided, in undamaged 

 specimens, with a short " tactile hair " somewhat nearer to the 

 middle than to the extremity. Coxa IV. in $ narrow, nearly 

 triangular, wider distally, the inner-posterior corner being very 

 much rounded ; in ? coxa IV. is much broader and larger, nearly 

 parallel-sided, with the inner corner only slightly rounded; no 

 coxal sac. Claws simple.

The description is based on two specimens, £ and ? , taken by 

 Mr. H. Wallis Kew near Deal (Kent), under bricks on the 

 floor of a disused cottage in which fowls and rabbits had been 

 kept, and seven examples, two <$ and five $ , taken by Mr. 

 H, K. Freeman at Chisledon (Wiltshire), among refuse in horse- 

 stables. Mr. H. Wallis Kew communicates to me that the same 

 species has also been collected by himself at West Wickham 

 (Kent), among debris at the foot of an old elm near a farm, and 

 at Hogsthorpe (Lincolnshire) among debris in a stable; further, he 

 bus seen it from Belper (Derbyshire), among refuse in a loft over 

 a stable, and from Dagenham (Essex) among refuse in farm- 

 buildings. It is thus seen that the specimens, with a single 

 exception, have been taken in buildings. 



It is with some doubt that I have ventured to refer these 

 specimens to C. L. Koch's Chelifer Panzeri, and to re-establish
