articulation. The fourth joint is somewhat shorter than the second, 
slightly curved; 7.5 still shorter and bent sharply back on the under side 
of the fourth; 7.6 very small, oval; the fifth and sixth together scarcely 
equal the fourth. The third, fifth, and sixth joints are sparingly beset 
with rather stiff bristles, some of which on 7.6 are directed backward. 
Eggs on ovigera in several globular masses. 
Legs slender, second pair about two and one half times as long as the 
animal; ¢.1 short, little longer than broad; ¢.2 rather over twice the length 
of ¢.1; at about the middle of the dorsal side is a slight rounded protuber- 
ance; in the male the ventral side extends at the distal end into a consider- 
able projection, on which are several small bristles, and at the end of which 
is the genital opening. The female lacks this projection, but the distal 
end of the joint is swollen and the genital opening is situated on a slight 
prominence of its own a little way back from the tip. Third coxal joint 
rather longer than first; like all the joints out toZ2, it becomes gradually 
larger distally. Femoral joint nearly as long as whole of coxal region, 
commonly larger in the female; produced dorsally at the distal end into 
a rounded projection very similar in shape to that on the dorsal side of 
the lateral process and the genital prominence on the second coxal joint ; 
from this projection grows a long, slender bristle. In the male there is 
another process on the femoral joint, just beyond the middle on the 
dorsal side; it is drawn out into a narrow tube which projects distally; 
at its end is the opening of the so-called agglutinative gland, the secretion 
from which is supposed to be used in gluing the egg-masses together. 
Second tibial joint slightly longer than 71; neither quite so long asf; at 
the distal end of #1 is a projection similar to that on f, but smaller, and 
likewise furnished with a rather long bristle; about one fourth of the dis- 
tance from the distal end of #2, on the dorsal side, is a slight nodular 
protuberance from which projects a long, delicate bristle. First tarsal 
joint very small, roughly triangular, with a broad base ventrally bearing a 
few moderately strong spines, and a narrow knob dorsally ; ¢s.2 compara- 
tively slender, about equal in length to ¢.2, not strongly curved, but 
appearing arched on the ventral side in consequence of being much 
expanded at the base, where it is armed with 2 stout, distally curved 
spines and a few strong bristles. The proximal half of the remainder of 
the ventral margin, the sole, is armed with a series of close-set distally 
curved spines, varying in number from 7 or 8 to 11; along the distal part 
extends a thin, lamellar, knife-like chitinous plate along the sides of which 
are a few very small bristles. Claw long, falciform, reaching back as far 
as the heel of ¢s.2; inner edge thin and knife-like. Auxiliary claws very 
small but distinct. The legs are very sparsely hairy; besides what have
