very elongate, nol very well marked basal elevation, which through an elongate 

 concavity blends into the distinctly convex outline of the distal third of joint; the 

 ventral margin is beyond the stalk evenly and moderately convex, while the dorsal 

 is very abruptly so, almost circular. The hand, which is 11 broader than the 

 tibia, is almost as broad as the trochanter is long, 1-9 longer than broad, 1-7 

 longer than deep and 1-5 longer than the linger; the chela is three times as long 

 as broad; the lateral outlines are beyond the slalk abruptly convex and then 

 moderately so; the ventral and dorsal margins are perpendicular on the stalk and 

 then almost straight. 



Coxae. — The fourth pair are enlarged towards the extremity and appears 

 triangular, as the posterio-interior corner is fairly rounded; the coxa is almost 

 twice as long as broad and the inner margin a little shorter than the hinder. 



Legs. — The hairs are more or less long and rather stiff with a few distal 

 teeth; the trochanter and the trochantins bear ventrally a few very long, slender 

 and completely simple hairs and the femur of the fourth pair a single ventral 

 in the middle and a dorsal one near the tip; the tibia of the fourth pair of 

 legs bears ventrally a pair of similar strongly curved hairs; a "tactile" hair is 

 found near to the base of the fourth tarsus. The lateral terminal hair is moderately 

 curved. The troctiantin of the first pair of legs is onlj' a little deeper than the 

 femur proper; the femur of the fourth pair of legs is 23 longer than deep; the 

 tibia of the first pair of legs is much (1-2) longer than the tarsus, which is 4-3 

 longer than deep; the tarsus of the fourth pair is 13 longer than the femur 

 is deep. 



Colour. — The palps are bright reddish brown; the head is lighter reddish 

 brown; the rest of céphalothorax and the abdominal sclerites are pale brown; 

 coxae and legs yellowish or yellowish brown and interarticulate membranes yel- 

 lowish white. 



Measurements. — Céphalothorax 0-890 (0-700); abdomen 2240 (1176) mm. 



Palps: trochanter 0-460 (0-295); femur 0-840 (0-336); tibia 0812 (0392); hand 

 0-840 (0-448), depth 0-490; finger 0-540 mm. 



Leg I: femur 0540 (0198), trochantin 0-135; tibia 0432 (0126); tarsus 0351 

 (0-081) mm. 



Leg IV: femur 0725 (0324), trochantin 0-315; tibia 0594 (0180); tarsus 0432 

 (0-099) mm. 



Material. — Mr. Budde Lund has collected a single male in a .ship with 

 sugar from India. 



Remarks. — H.J.Hansen mentions (9. p. 543) the specimen described of Ch. 

 nai'igator n. sp., but he identifies it with Ch. politus Sim.; I do not believe he is 

 right in his identification, for Simon's species seems to be distributed even in the 

 interior of France and has apparently not such a pronounced dorsal trochanleral 

 tubercle (5. p. 35). This species is well distinguished by its very prominent tro- 

 chanleral tubercles and slender hand.
