Genus Annandaliella, Hirst. 
It will be convenient to deal first with this genus, which 
appears to form a lateral offshoot from the main trend of evolu- 
tion, leading up towards the Thrigmopoeeae. It appears to have 
originated from some species near the middle of the evolu- 
tionary series of the genus Plesiophrictus, and to differ there- 
from only in the presence of the characteristic spines on the 
inner surfaces of the chelicerae of the female, and perhaps in 
the absence of spines from among the fine hairs by which the 
anterior tarsal scopulae are divided in the female, hairs which 
are not sufficiently numerous in the male even to form a definite 
line. The absence of the characteristic spines from the mandibles 
of the male (and young) is very remarkable, if, as has hitherto 
been supposed, they constitute a stridulating organ comparable 
to that found between the chelicerae and palps of the more highly 
specialized Oriental genera of Aviculariinae. 
The genus is represented in our collection by a number of 
specimens of A. tvavancorica, Hirst (1909). It is also represented 
by a specimen from Chalakudi in the cultivated low country of 
Cochin which may perhaps belong to the same species; by a speci- 
men said to come from Hung in Persian Baluchistan—a locality 
which I have reason to think was at some time attributed to at least 
one bottle of mixed spiders from Southern India or Burma; by a 
mutilated specimen from Ootacamund ; and by a young one from 
Coimbatore. 
Annandaliella travancorica, Hirst. 
(Pl. xv, figs. 4a-b). 
This species is represented in our collection by the type from 
Travancore; by a female from Kulattupuzha in the same State, 
at the base of the western slopes of the Western Ghats; and by 
numerous specimens, including three males, from under stones 
and logs of wood, in the rich evergreen jungle at the base of the 
same range near Trichur (Cochin) and near the rubber estate 
between the tenth and fourteenth miles of the Cochin State Forest 
Tramway. It is very sluggish, at least by day, crouching down 
when discovered, and remaining quiet with its legs drawn up 
against the body when seized. 
This species has hitherto been known from the type only. 
Now that more extensive material is available it may be redes- 
cribed as follows :—
