quite as long as anterior margin of trochanter, with or without 
one strong tooth below; tibia about as wide as long, stouter than 
femur, one small tooth below close to anterior margin at base of 
moveable finger, front margin oblique, the inner side above being 
about I} times as long as the outer; posterior side of tibial 
apophysis curved, slightly expanded dorso-ventrally at the end, 
lower anterior margin produced towards the hand to form an 
extensive plate widening gradually from its commencement at about 
+ of the distance from the base of the apophysis to its extremity 
and terminated abruptly a little before the end. Hand very thick 
dorso-ventrally on the outer side; inner side thin, widely excavate 
at base of fixed finger, the excavation exactly fitting the 
ventral plate-like expansion of the anterior margin of the tibial 
apophysis when the two are brought together; fixed finger broad, 
roughly parallel-sided, almost vertically truncate distally ; move- 
able finger evenly curved, the apex crossing beneath the moveable 
finger when closed, and apposable to extremity of plate-like expan- 
sion of tibial apophysis. 
2. Length of cephalothorax Io mm., maximum breadth of 
same 6 mm., colour much paler than in male! and granulation 
weaker throughout. Coxal process of arm as in male; trochanter 
with marginal teeth well developed; femur thinner and proportion- 
ally shorter than in male, armed with one weak tooth above and 
one very strong one below; tibia and hand scarcely longer than 
broad, armed as in H. ellist, H. wood-masont, etc. Second (first 
visible) abdominal sternum about twice as broad as long, middle 
of posterior margin somewhat abruptly produced, surface traversed 
by a fine groove extending slightly forwards across the middle-line 
from about the middle of each half of this margin, a single pair of 
moderately distinct circular impressions situated about half-way 
between this groove and the anterior margin of the segment. 
IV. NEw ORIENTAL TARTARIDES. 
Schizomus (s. str.) cavernicola. 
Locality.—-This species lives under stones in the depths of the 
larger of the two famous Farm or Khayon caves near Moulmein 
where I obtained two specimens, both adult females. I also saw, 
but failed to capture, some immature specimens, probably of the 
same species, that were living under stones in a crevice which 
forms the approach to an upper entrance of the small cave.

1 I believethat the colour of these animals is to some extent affected not only 
by age and by the recency of the last moult but also by the mode of preservation 
(eg. the strength and nature of the spirit) employed. In the present instance, 
however, in view of the small size of this specimen incomparison with the male, it 
probably indicates that the specimen is scarcely mature ; distinctive characters of 
the anterior abdominal sterna are already developed but they will probably be 
found to be intensified in perfectly matured specimens,
