306 JOHN HEWITT. 



Tarsi of all the legs scopulate below throughout their 

 length, the first tarsus being only quite thinly scopulate, the 

 fourth without setge along its middle. Tarsal claws of first 

 leg with three teeth, of fourth leg with two teeth and a third 

 tooth may or may not be just indicated. First metatarsus 

 slightly bowed, with two spines at the apex inferiorly and 

 three along the postero-inferior edge, but none along the 

 antero-inf erior edge. First tibia shorter than the metatarsus, 

 with four spines along the postero-inferior edge, with the 

 usual pair of tubercles near the apex, the more proximal one 

 being distant from the apex less than one-sixth the length of 

 the segment. Band of spinules on anterior surface of patella 

 IV stretching two-fifths to one half of the length of the seg- 

 ment and comprising only about eight to ten spinules ; 

 III has two to four spines along the distal edge anteriorly, 

 and two to nine on the anterior surface, but only one on the 

 dorsal surface, in addition to one or two on the distal edge. 



Tibia of pedipalp barely one and two-third times as long as 

 deep, the band of spines bordering the excavation complete, 

 in three rows proxiniall}^, but elsewhere in a single row, 

 except at the distal end ; altogether there are nineteen to 

 twenty-four such spines. Tarsus of pedipalp with one long 

 spine at the apex superiorly and one or two weaker ones, the 

 distal inferior lobe on the posterior side rather strongly 

 projecting. Process of palpal organ comparatively short, 

 flattened, and twisted. 



Measurements. — Total length 12*5 mm., length of cara- 

 pace 4*5 mm., breadth of same 3*5 mm., length of tibia of first 

 leg 2*75 mm. 



Acanthodon ochreolum Poc. 

 Acantliodon ochreolum Poc, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 7, x, p. 9,1902. 



This species is probably the same as either Gorgyrella 

 schreineri Purcell, or G. abrahami Hewitt, for it has 

 three pairs of sternal sigilla. 



The following notes on the type specimen will supplement 

 Pocock's rather incomplete description.
